Three bills passed by Texas legislators Senate Joint Resolution 1, House Bill 4 and House Bill 1025 propose an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would create the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas. The legislation appropriates $2 billion to the fund from the state’s rainy day fund and instructs the fund to develop water projects throughout the state.
That’s good news for Tim Tuggey, a partner in Tuggey Fernandez in Austin. His lobbying clients include the San Antonio River Authority (SARA), which implements water-related programs and projects to preserve, protect and manage the resources within the San Antonio River Basin and its tributaries.
