                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to solid waste permits.
    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-3        SECTION 1.  Section 361.068, Health and Safety Code, is
    1-4  amended to read as follows:
    1-5        Sec. 361.068.  WHEN APPLICATION IS ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLETE.
    1-6        (a)  A permit application is administratively complete when:
    1-7              (1)  a complete permit application form and the report
    1-8  and fees required to be submitted with a permit application have
    1-9  been submitted to the department or the commission; and
   1-10              (2)  the permit application is ready for technical
   1-11  review in accordance with the rules of the board of health or
   1-12  commission.
   1-13        (b)  Once a determination of application administrative or
   1-14  technical completeness has been made and the permit application has
   1-15  become the subject of a contested case as defined in the
   1-16  Administrative Procedure and Texas Register Act (Article 6252-13a
   1-17  Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), Section 3:
   1-18              (1)  the determination of application administrative or
   1-19  technical completeness may not be revoked;
   1-20              (2)  additional information may be requested from the
   1-21  applicant, but only when necessary to clarify, modify or supplement
   1-22  previously submitted material; and
   1-23              (3)  requests for such additional information will not
    2-1  render the application incomplete.
    2-2        SECTION 2.  This provision shall apply to all contested cases
    2-3  pending as of June 7, 1991 and thereafter.
    2-4        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-5  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-6  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-7  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-8  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
    2-9  and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its
   2-10  terms, and it is so enacted.
