Modifies the permissible uses of the Texas water fund by allowing the Texas Water Development Board to transfer money to multiple water-related funds, including water assistance, new water supply, flood infrastructure, rural water assistance, and various water development accounts. These transfers aim to support water infrastructure, development, and public awareness initiatives across Texas.
