The bill, H.B. No. 2302, seeks to amend the definition of a rural political subdivision specifically for the Texas Water Assistance Program. It repeals the existing definition found in Section 15.001(14) of the Water Code, which was added by a previous legislative act during the 88th Legislature. The repeal indicates a shift in how rural political subdivisions are classified, although the new definition is not provided in the text.

The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will instead take effect on September 1, 2025.
