The bill, S.B. No. 2408, aims to amend the governance structure of the Trinity River Authority of Texas in accordance with 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, violation of local government laws, 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 and relevant laws. The bill also establishes a system for handling complaints, ensures public participation in board meetings, and delineates the responsibilities between the board and the management. 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.
