Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) has
to approve most bond issuances by a water district.  The amount of time and
expense required to support the review of bond issuance is extensive.  H.B.
3824 exempts from this requirement the Laguna Madre Water District.  

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
