H.B. No. 420 amends the Water Code by adding Section 49.0621, which establishes specific meeting requirements for the board of directors of certain water districts. This section applies to districts that are either wholly or partly located in a county containing a portion of the Cedar Creek Reservoir and that borders a county with a population of 2.6 million or more. The bill mandates that these boards conduct meetings at least quarterly, with at least one meeting per quarter held at a designated location either inside the district or within 10 miles of its boundary.

Additionally, the bill allows these districts to conduct their quarterly meetings via telephone or video conference, deviating from the standard requirements of Chapter 551 of the Government Code. However, it specifies that any meeting discussing the district's tax rate must be held in person. The provisions of this act will take effect on September 1, 2025.
