H.B. No. 2109 proposes amendments to the Texas Water Code regarding the designation and removal of certain proposed reservoir sites from the state water plan. The bill modifies Section 16.051(g-1) to clarify that a site is considered a designated site of unique value for reservoir construction if it was recommended in the 2007 state water plan and specifies that this designation will terminate on September 1, 2015, unless a project sponsor takes affirmative action to advance the construction.

Additionally, the bill introduces Section 16.0511, which allows the board to remove a site designated as unique for reservoir construction from the state water plan if construction has not commenced within 50 years of the site's initial inclusion. It also stipulates that any site removed under this provision cannot be included in future versions of the plan, with an exception for sites with water rights issued before September 1, 2025. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
