Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 585 amends the Health and Safety Code to add the remediation, cleanup, and proper closure of unauthorized recycling sites that a responsible party is not immediately financially able to perform to the activities that qualify for funds appropriated to the state municipal solid waste superfund from solid waste disposal and transportation fees received by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The bill also authorizes a municipality to provide certain landscaping services if the governing body of the municipality makes certain written findings. The limitations and requirements do not apply to a municipality in times of emergency or calamity.
