House Bill 1059 |
House Author: Lucio III |

Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Rodríguez |
House Bill 1059 amends the Water Code to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality each state fiscal biennium to appoint a green stormwater infrastructure and low impact development report group to prepare a report on the use of green stormwater infrastructure and low impact development in Texas.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "House Bill 1059 would mandate a series of reports that are redundant and unnecessary. Many cities and counties are already using adaptive strategies to manage stormwater runoff. Institutions of higher education, meanwhile, are providing sufficient information and support to local governments to promote even broader application of these stormwater-management tools."
