HB 2923 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the jurisdiction of the Public Utility Commission of Texas over certain rates for water or sewer service charged by a municipality.

HB 2923 limits the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) jurisdiction over water and sewer rates charged by municipalities. It removes the PUC's oversight for rates when a municipality provides wholesale water or sewer service to *another municipality* (e.g., City A selling to City B). Instead, such agreements between municipalities will be governed by their own contracts, with the PUC only reviewing rates for service provided to non-municipal entities like counties or water districts. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
