The bill amends Section 8849.053 of the Special District Local Laws Code, which pertains to vacancies on the board of directors of the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District. The new language specifies that when a vacancy occurs, it must be filled in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 8849.052 for original appointments. Additionally, it clarifies that a director appointed to fill a vacancy will serve the remainder of the unexpired term, rather than the previous language that allowed for the board to appoint a director without specifying the term duration.

This legislation aims to streamline the process for filling board vacancies and ensure that appointees serve the appropriate length of time, thereby enhancing the governance of the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
