 1-2     relating to hearings on certain exemptions from permitting

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 382.058, Health and Safety Code, is

 1-6     amended by adding Subsections (d) and (e) to read as follows:

 1-7           (d)  When the Commission determines that a public hearing is

 1-8     required by this section, such hearing shall be held within

 1-9     forty-five (45) days and shall be conducted in accordance with the

1-10     procedure for public hearings held under Section 382.0561 of this

1-11     chapter.  Dispersion modeling of emissions shall not be received at

1-12     such hearing or otherwise reviewed or considered in connection with

1-13     a proposed facility governed by this section.

1-14           (e)  Any appeal of Commission action regarding a facility

1-16     this chapter.   The record on appeal shall consist of all written

1-17     and oral substantive public comments, all responses to comments,

1-18     and all other information relied on by the Commission in its

1-19     decision.

1-20           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-21     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-22     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-23     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-24     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

 2-1     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

 2-2     passage, and it is so enacted.
