A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to fees imposed for certain plans subject to Texas Natural
1-3 Resource Conservation Commission approval under the commission's
1-4 rules for the protection of the Edwards Aquifer.
1-5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-6 SECTION 1. Sections 26.0461(d) and (h), Water Code, are
1-7 amended to read as follows:
1-8 (d) A fee imposed under this section may not be less than
1-9 $100 or more than $5,000 [$2,000].
1-10 (h) A fee collected under this section shall be deposited in
1-11 the State Treasury to the credit of a special account to be used
1-12 only for the commission's Edwards Aquifer programs [the water
1-13 quality fund].
1-14 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-15 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-16 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-17 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-18 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-19 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-20 passage, and it is so enacted.
