SUBCHAPTER CUMULATIVE OF OTHER LAWS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) This subchapter is cumulative of other laws on the subject, and the board may use provisions of other applicable laws in the issuance of water financial assistance bonds and the execution of bond enhancement agreements, but this subchapter is wholly sufficient authority for the issuance of water financial assistance bonds, the execution of bond enhancement agreements, and the performance of all other acts and procedures authorized by this subchapter.
(b) In addition to other authority granted by this subchapter, the board may exercise the authority granted to the governing body of an issuer with regard to the issuance of obligations under Chapter 1371, Government Code.
(c) In exercising the powers granted to the board under this subchapter, the board may exercise any powers granted to it under this chapter and Chapter 16 including the powers described in Subchapters D, E, F, G, and K, notwithstanding any provision in this chapter or Chapter 16 that may be inconsistent with or in conflict with the provisions of this subchapter as a result of the establishment of the fund as a fund separate and distinct from the existing Texas Water Development Fund, it being the intent of the legislature that the financial assistance made available to political subdivisions under this subchapter, in pursuance of the authority granted by Section 49-d-8, Article III, Texas Constitution, be provided by the board in the manner the board deems necessary to achieve the purposes of Section 49-d-8, Article III, Texas Constitution, and notwithstanding any other existing provisions in this chapter or Chapter 16, the provisions of this chapter and Chapter 16 shall be inclusive of the provisions of this subchapter and Section 49-d-8, Article III, Texas Constitution.
