Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 912	Senate Author:  Eltife
Effective:  9-1-15	House Sponsor:  Crownover

            Current law requires an individual who operates, is in charge of, or is responsible for the activity or facility from which an accidental discharge or spill occurs that causes or may cause pollution to notify the appropriate authority of the discharge or spill.  Senate Bill 912 amends the Water Code to exempt such an individual from this requirement for certain discharges or spills that occur at a wastewater treatment or collection facility owned or operated by a local government and to require the individual to submit a monthly summary of such discharges and spills to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
