Relating to the applicability of uniform grant and contract management standards to certain Texas Water Development Board programs.

This bill exempts specific Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) programs from statewide grant and contract management rules under Government Code Chapter 783. It amends Water Code Section 15.008 to exclude contracts related to certain water programs (subchapters B, C, F, H, I, K, P, or R) from Chapter 783 requirements. The change applies only to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025, leaving existing contracts governed by prior law. This clarifies regulatory scope for TWDB programs without altering their core operations.
