Bill > SB2204

This bill modifies Section 15.008 of the Texas Water Code to expand the list of Texas Water Development Board program subchapters that are exempt from the uniform grant and contract management standards outlined in Chapter 783 of the Government Code. Specifically, the bill adds Subchapters B, C, and R to the existing list of exempted subchapters, which already included Subchapters F, H, I, K, and P. The changes will only apply to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025, meaning that contracts signed before this date will continue to be governed by the previous version of the law. By expanding the exemptions, the bill provides more flexibility for the Texas Water Development Board in managing grants and contracts under these specific subchapters, potentially streamlining administrative processes for certain water-related programs.
