   1-13  relating to facility response plans for hazardous liquids
   1-14  pipelines.
   1-15        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-16        SECTION 1.  Section 117.012, Natural Resources Code, is
   1-17  amended by adding Subsections (d), (e), and (f) to read as follows:
   1-18        (d)  The commission may adopt rules that require a hazardous
   1-19  liquid pipeline facility to prepare and submit for commission
   1-20  approval a facility response plan for all or any part of a
   1-21  hazardous liquid pipeline facility located landward of the coast.
   1-22  Rules shall require the facility response plan to include plans for
   1-23  responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worst case
   1-24  discharge and to a substantial threat of such a discharge of
   1-25  hazardous liquids that could reasonably be expected to cause
   1-26  substantial harm to the environment by discharging into navigable
   1-27  waters.
   1-28        (e)  Rules relating to facility response plans shall be
   1-29  consistent with the provisions of Section 4202(b)(4) of the Oil
   1-30  Pollution Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Section 1321(j)(5)).
   1-31        (f)  Rules relating to facility response plans do not apply
   1-32  to a hazardous liquid pipeline facility that is required to
   1-33  implement a discharge prevention and response plan under Chapter 40
   1-34  (Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act of 1991).
   1-35        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-36  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-37  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-38  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-39  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
