Senate Bill 1756 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize an applicant to request the expedited processing of a permit application filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) under the Texas Clean Air Act if the applicant demonstrates that the purpose of the application will benefit the Texas economy. Among other provisions, the bill authorizes TCEQ to add a surcharge to an application fee for an expedited permit application in an amount sufficient to cover certain expenses relating to the expedited process.
