Texas HB3628 mandates the Texas Water Development Board to review and update guidance principles and rules for state water and flood plans every five.

Texas HB3628 amends the Water Code to require the Texas Water Development Board to review and update guidance principles and rules for the state water plan every five years, aligning with the five-year cycle for adopting a new water plan. The board must also review and update rules for the state flood plan every five years, in coordination with the State Soil and Water Conservation Board. The bill exempts these rules from the requirement to review them within four years of taking effect and every four years thereafter. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
