AI Summary

This bill seeks to establish the "Water for Texas Fund" within the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to provide financial assistance for water infrastructure projects, particularly in rural areas and municipalities with populations under 150,000, as well as projects aimed at developing new water supply sources, such as water rights acquisition, desalination, and produced water treatment. The bill also requires the TWDB to establish a program to provide technical assistance to retail public utilities for water audits and to submit a water loss report to the legislature every five years. The bill's effective date is contingent on the approval of a related constitutional amendment by Texas voters.
