SB 1387 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the membership of the Texas Groundwater Protection Committee.

SB 1387 amends the Texas Water Code to update the membership of the Texas Groundwater Protection Committee. The bill specifies that the committee must now include 10 members: directors of key state agencies (like the Railroad Commission, Parks and Wildlife Department, and Soil Conservation Board), a representative selected by the Texas Alliance of Groundwater Districts, and a representative from the Water Well Drillers Program. These changes take effect September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects how groundwater protection oversight is structured by defining committee composition, without altering groundwater management policies themselves.
