Relating to a study and report by the Texas Water Development Board, in consultation with certain other entities, of risks from and solutions to flooding.

HB 286 requires the Texas Water Development Board to study flood risks and potential solutions in the upper Guadalupe River basin, directly affecting residents and infrastructure in that area. The study must quantify flood risks to life and property, assess mitigation projects (like dams or drainage systems), and develop hydraulic models using existing data and the July 4, 2025 weather event. The Board must gather community input, score projects based on cost-benefit analysis and feedback, and propose up to eight projects by January 2029 - with at least half identified by local entities like Kerr County and Kerrville. The bill does not fund projects but creates a framework for future flood mitigation planning.
