Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the provision by a political subdivision of credits against impact fees to builders and developers for certain water conservation and reuse projects.
AI Summary
This bill requires political subdivisions to provide credits against water and wastewater impact fees to builders and developers who construct or contribute facilities, systems, or products that promote water conservation, reuse, or efficiency. Specifically, the bill allows credits for projects that reduce water consumption, decrease wastewater treatment needs, diminish stormwater facility demands, or implement water efficiency technologies that exceed standard requirements. Political subdivisions must establish transparent and consistent procedures for calculating and approving these credits. The provisions are designed to incentivize water conservation efforts by offering financial relief to developers who implement water-saving technologies or infrastructure. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, and appears to have passed both the Texas Senate and House with overwhelming support, indicating a strong legislative consensus on promoting water conservation strategies.
