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 stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
