Legislation would authorize optional revenue sharing from groundwater export fees

A local bill filed in the Texas Legislature would authorize the Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District to share a portion of revenue collected from groundwater export fees with Burleson and Milam County offices. The legislation would apply only to this District and does not alter existing permit ting rules, regulatory authority, or conservation standards.

Any potential revenue sharing would be considered only within the context of this mission.
