H.B. No. 2694 amends the governance structure of the Brazoria Drainage District No. 4 by modifying the election schedule and terms for its board of commissioners. The bill specifies that elections for the commissioners will now occur on the uniform election date in May of odd-numbered years, replacing the previous November schedule. Additionally, it establishes that commissioners will serve staggered four-year terms beginning in June following their election, rather than in January. A new provision is introduced that mandates an automatic resignation for any commissioner who announces candidacy for another office when their remaining term exceeds one year and 30 days.

The bill also repeals several subsections related to the appointment process for filling vacancies on the board, streamlining the procedure by allowing remaining commissioners to appoint a replacement if less than 290 days remain before the next regular election. The first elections under the new schedule are set for May 2029 for Places No. 1 and No. 2, and May 2027 for Place No. 3, with current commissioners' terms adjusted accordingly. The act will take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
