Relating to a compliance agreement for the suspension of an enforcement action against a regional water supply, sewer, wastewater treatment, or solid waste disposal service for certain violations.

SB 565 establishes a process allowing Texas regulatory commissions to temporarily suspend enforcement actions against regional water, sewer, wastewater, or solid waste services during integration with another provider. It directly affects municipalities, counties, regional service areas, and utilities that are merging or integrating their service operations. The key provision requires compliance agreements to include specific steps for bringing the integrated service into regulatory compliance while suspending enforcement for violations arising from the transition. This policy change modifies the Water Code to facilitate smoother service transitions without immediate penalties for integration-related issues. The bill became effective September 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
