Texas HB2080 amends the Water Code to modify the review process for groundwater conservation districts by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The bill mandates the appointment of a review panel consisting of a chairperson and four other members, with specific restrictions on member selection. The panel includes a nonvoting recording secretary, whose records are public information. Members are reimbursed for expenses but do not receive compensation. The office of public interest counsel provides legal advice to the panel but cannot represent the district in question.
