Relating to the inclusion of certain sources of water supply in regional water plans.

HB 2620 requires regional water planning groups in Texas to meet three specific conditions before including water sources that require eminent domain (government land seizure) in another planning area. These conditions are: (1) proving all other water sources within their own area are insufficient, (2) confirming all feasible water management strategies have been used, and (3) submitting a report analyzing negative ecological, economic, and educational impacts on the affected area plus a mitigation plan. The bill directly affects regional water planning groups when considering cross-area water projects. It aims to prevent planning groups from bypassing local concerns by requiring thorough analysis and mitigation before pursuing such projects.
