Bill Summary
Relating to flood planning, mitigation, and infrastructure projects; making an appropriation.
AI Summary
This bill relates to flood planning, mitigation, and infrastructure projects in Texas. It creates a new Flood Infrastructure Fund to be administered by the Texas Water Development Board (the Board) to provide financial assistance, such as loans and grants, to eligible political subdivisions (e.g., districts, authorities, municipalities, and counties) for flood control and mitigation projects. The bill also requires the Board to develop a comprehensive state flood plan and a 10-year plan for the repair and maintenance of flood control dams. Additionally, the bill appropriates $3.26 billion from the state's Economic Stabilization Fund for the new Flood Infrastructure Fund, contingent on approval by a two-thirds vote of the legislature. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2020, but only if a related constitutional amendment is approved by Texas voters.
