H.B. No. 5675 proposes amendments to the governance structure and powers of the Presidio County Underground Water Conservation District. The bill increases the board of directors from five to seven members, with specific provisions for appointments: one member will be appointed by the governing body of the City of Marfa, and another by the governing body of the City of Presidio. Additionally, the bill clarifies that vacancies on the board will be filled in the same manner as the original appointments, rather than by the commissioners court of Presidio County, which is a significant change in the appointment process.

The bill also updates the language regarding the district's powers, specifying that it has the rights and authority provided by general state law applicable to groundwater conservation districts. It replaces references to the Texas Water Commission with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and explicitly states that Section 36.121 of the Water Code does not apply to the district. Furthermore, the bill repeals a subsection related to the appointment process, streamlining the governance of the district. If passed, the act will take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote or on September 1, 2025, if not.
