S.B. No. 2408 is a legislative bill that amends the governing structure and operational guidelines of the Trinity River Authority of Texas, following recommendations from the Sunset Advisory Commission. Key changes include extending the review period of the Authority under the Texas Sunset Act to September 1, 2037, and increasing the number of directors on the board from twenty-four to twenty-five. The bill also specifies that the Governor will designate a member of the board as the president of the Authority, and introduces new provisions for the removal of board members based on specific grounds, such as failure to maintain qualifications or excessive absences from meetings.

Additionally, the bill mandates that newly appointed directors complete a training program before they can vote or be counted as present at board meetings. This training will cover various aspects of the Authority's operations, legal requirements, and ethics policies. The bill also establishes a system for handling complaints and requires the board to develop policies that ensure public participation and clarify the separation of policy-making and management responsibilities. The provisions of the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, with a grace period allowing current board members to participate in meetings until December 1, 2025, without having completed the required training.
