A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the term of an easement granted by the Parks and

Wildlife Commission to an electric cooperative for certain state

land.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 11.301, Parks and Wildlife Code, is

amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:

(d)

An easement on state land managed by the department that

is granted by the commission to an electric cooperative as defined

by Section 161.002, Utilities Code, shall be in perpetuity.

SECTION 2. Section 11.301(d), Parks and Wildlife Code, as

added by this Act, applies only to an easement granted on or after

the effective date of this Act. An easement granted before the

effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the

date the easement was granted, and the former law is continued in

effect for that purpose.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
