House Bill 1053 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit certain new and conversion landfill permits in a county located adjacent to a county with a population of more than 3.3 million and within the boundaries of a national forest. The bill prohibits issuance of permits for a new standard municipal solid waste landfill, for a new landfill for brush or construction and demolition waste, or for a conversion from a brush or construction and demolition waste landfill to a standard municipal solid waste landfill. The provisions of the bill do not apply to an areal expansion of an existing standard municipal solid waste landfill.
