The bill amends Section 26.403(c) of the Water Code to update the membership composition of the Texas Groundwater Protection Committee. Notable changes include the replacement of the "commissioner of the Texas Department of Health" with the "commissioner of state health services," and the addition of the "executive director of the Parks and Wildlife Department" as a new member. Additionally, the title of the "Director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station" is updated to "executive director of Texas A&M AgriLife Research," reflecting a change in nomenclature.

These amendments aim to modernize the committee's structure and ensure that it includes relevant representatives from various state agencies involved in groundwater protection. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
