conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
Senate Bill 281 (administration and powers of the Red River
Authority of Texas) to consider and take action on the following

to read as follows:
Sec. 19a. The Authority may purchase groundwater rights
in a county in the Authority's territory only if:

that has jurisdiction over water wells located in the county; or
(2) in the case where a county is not in the
jurisdiction of a groundwater conservation district, the
commissioners court of the county approves the purchase of
groundwater rights by the Authority in the county.

what conditions the Red River Authority of Texas may purchase
groundwater rights.
