S.B. No. 2773 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to change the composition of the Port Commission of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority of Nueces County, Texas. The bill increases the number of port commissioners from seven to nine. The appointment process is also revised, with the city councils of the City of Portland and the City of Port Aransas each gaining the authority to appoint one port commissioner, in addition to the existing appointments by the Commissioners Court of Nueces County and the city council of Corpus Christi.

The bill mandates that by January 1, 2026, the city councils of Portland and Port Aransas must appoint their respective commissioners to ensure the required staggering of terms is maintained. The act will take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
