As amended November 2, 1999:

The Legislature may require review and approval of the issuance of Texas Water Development Bonds, of the use of the bond proceeds, or of the rules adopted by an agency to govern use of the bond proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, any entity created or directed to conduct this review and approval may include members or appointees of members of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Departments of State government.

Editor Comments

Added in 1987, this section has been amended once. The 1999 modification was part of a "constitutional cleanup amendment."

Note that the section's second sentence exempts a review entity from the separation-of-powers mandate of Article II, Section 1.
