House Bill 2708 amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Health and Safety Code, to authorize money in the hazardous and solid waste remediation fee account attributable to statutory fees imposed on lead‑acid batteries to be used for reimbursement of environmental remediation at the site of a former battery recycling facility located in the municipal boundaries of certain municipalities, such as the City of Frisco, if a community development corporation serving the municipality is issued an industrial hazardous waste permit by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for the site and is paying or has paid for part of the costs of the site's environmental remediation pursuant to the permit. This authorization expires September 1, 2027.
