Relating to recommendations for the appointment of directors of the San Jacinto River Authority.
HB 5006 amends the process for appointing directors to the San Jacinto River Authority board. It allows counties wholly within the district to recommend two director candidates to the governor, while partially located counties can recommend one, with each county's commissioners court needing to approve recommendations by majority vote. The governor retains final authority to appoint or reject these recommendations. This bill directly affects county commissioners courts and the governor's appointment process for the San Jacinto River Authority board.
