Relating to the permissible uses of the Texas water fund.

These funds support water infrastructure, assistance programs, and public awareness initiatives across Texas. The bill directly affects how the Texas Water Fund administers its resources, ensuring money flows only to these pre-approved accounts. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
