H.B. No. 3383 proposes to amend the Government Code by adding Section 791.038, which grants local governments the authority to enter into interlocal contracts with other local governments, the state, or the federal government for the purpose of participating in water research or planning activities. This new provision aims to enhance collaboration among various governmental entities in addressing water resource management and planning.
The bill stipulates that the new section will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If the bill does not achieve the necessary votes for immediate effect, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
