The bill would require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to extend public comment periods and makes changes to contested case hearing requirements. It would also change requirments for responding to public comments and place restrictions on the types of issues that can be referred to hearing by the TCEQ.
The changes proposed by the bill are not expected to require significant additional resources to implement.
