Relating to the election and resignation of and filling of vacancies on the board of commissioners of the Brazoria Drainage District No. 4.
HB 2694 updates election rules for commissioners on the Brazoria Drainage District No. 4 board. It requires commissioners who run for other state or federal offices (with over 1.5 years remaining in their term) to automatically resign from their district position. The bill sets specific election dates: Place No. 3 commissioners will be elected in May 2027, and Places No. 1 and 2 in May 2029. It also modifies how vacancies are filled, allowing appointment by remaining commissioners if less than 290 days remain before the next election.
