The bill proposes to redesignate the "State Water Implementation Fund for Texas Advisory Committee" as the "Texas Water Fund Advisory Committee" and abolishes the Texas Infrastructure Resiliency Fund Advisory Committee. It amends the Water Code to reflect these changes, including updates to the committee's composition, which will now consist of eight members instead of seven. The new members include the chairs of the relevant Senate and House committees on water resources, as well as the director of the Texas Division of Emergency Management as a nonvoting member. The bill also outlines the committee's responsibilities, including providing recommendations on the use of various water-related funds and evaluating the feasibility of state-owned water supply projects.

Additionally, the bill repeals several sections of the Water Code that are no longer necessary due to the changes made. It establishes that the advisory committee will be subject to the Texas Sunset Act, meaning it will be abolished unless continued by the legislature by September 1, 2035. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
