SB 1288 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the redesignation of the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas Advisory Committee as the Texas Water Fund Advisory Committee, the abolition of the Texas Infrastructure Resiliency Fund Advisory Committee, and the composition and functions of the Texas Water Fund Advisory Committee.

This bill reorganizes Texas water funding advisory committees by renaming the "State Water Implementation Fund for Texas Advisory Committee" to the "Texas Water Fund Advisory Committee" and abolishing the separate "Texas Infrastructure Resiliency Fund Advisory Committee." It specifies that the new committee will consist of eight members, including the comptroller, water resources committee chairs from both legislative chambers, two appointed senators (with one from finance), and two appointed House members (with one from appropriations). The bill also details staff support roles from the Texas Water Development Board and clarifies that certain members serve "at the will" of the appointing official. This is a procedural change affecting committee structure, not water policy or funding decisions.
