HB 4657 establishes the Local Government Water Redevelopment Fund, a special state fund administered by the Texas Water Development Board to finance repairs and redevelopment of local water infrastructure. The fund will receive 4% of sales tax revenue after certain allocations and will distribute money to local governments based on tax contributions and water infrastructure needs. The fund’s implementation depends on voter approval of a constitutional amendment, and if approved, the bill takes effect on January 1, 2026.
