H.B. No. 3525 introduces a new provision to the Special District Local Laws Code, specifically adding Section 8856.108, which outlines permit considerations for the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District. This section mandates that before the district can grant or deny a permit or a permit amendment, it must evaluate whether the intended use of water from a well is, in whole or in part, for the purpose of supplying water to a pond or lake to improve the aesthetic quality of the landscape.

This legislative change aims to ensure that the impact of water usage on local landscapes is taken into account during the permitting process, potentially influencing decisions related to water conservation and environmental aesthetics in the region.
