A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to a municipal consent agreement regarding the inclusion

SECTION 1. (a) Section 54.016(f), Water Code, is repealed.
(b) Section 54.016(h), Water Code, is repealed.
SECTION 2. The legislature finds that an agreement between
a municipality and a municipal utility district is an allocation
agreement only if the agreement strictly complies with the
requirements of Section 54.016(f), Water Code, and is specifically
designated by the parties to the agreement as an "allocation
agreement."
SECTION 3. The changes in law made by this Act do not apply
to an agreement that is the subject of a lawsuit filed by a

receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes
effect September 1, 2009.
