Water Engineers Board Change Is Okayed By House
The Texas House approved a bill to reorganize the Board of Water Engineers and rename it the Texas Water Commission. The plan divides engineering duties from water rights tasks, with the chief engineer empowered to run technical programs and act as commission executive. The measure reflects governor recommendations and aims to lock rules into statute. It also approved five days of paid sick leave for teachers in districts lacking such programs, funded at 1.6 million of a 2 million annual cost.
