The bill amends Section 26.406(c) of the Water Code to change the publication deadline for the Texas Groundwater Protection Committee's annual report from April 1 to June 1 of each year. This report, which is published in conjunction with the commission, will cover the committee's activities and findings from the previous calendar year. The report must include details on the current status of groundwater monitoring programs, document cases of groundwater contamination, and provide updates on the status of enforcement actions related to those cases.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for the new publication timeline to be implemented in the following reporting cycle. This change aims to provide more timely and comprehensive information regarding groundwater monitoring and contamination efforts in Texas.
