Amends Texas Water Code to redefine "district representative" for groundwater management areas.

This bill amends the Texas Water Code to redefine "district representative" for groundwater management areas. Specifically, it states that a "district representative" is the presiding officer or their designee for any district located wholly or partly in the management area. If a county does not have a district, the "district representative" is any person appointed by the county commissioners. The bill's effective date depends on whether it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses.
