Relating to the definition of a rural political subdivision for purposes of the Texas Water Assistance Program.

HB 2302 repeals the current definition of "rural political subdivision" in Texas Water Code Section 15.001(14), which was added by a 2023 law (S.B. 469). This change directly affects small towns and counties seeking eligibility for the Texas Water Assistance Program, as it alters who qualifies under the program's rules. The bill replaces the existing definition with a new standard, though the specific new definition isn't detailed in the provided text. The legislation takes effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, if not.
