jurisdiction, H.B. No. 2201 (Hughes/Estes)
By: Hughes H.R. No. 2268
R E S O L U T I O N
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of
Texas, 79th Legislature, Regular Session, 2005, That House Rule 13,
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to
resolve the differences on House Bill 2201 (implementing a clean
coal project in this state) to consider and take action on the
following matter:
House Rule 13, Sections 9(a)(1) and (3), are suspended to
permit the committee to revise proposed Section 5.558(a), Water
Code, to read as follows:
(a) As authorized by federal law, the commission by rule
shall implement reasonably streamlined processes for issuing
permits required to construct a component of the FutureGen project
designed to meet the FutureGen emissions profile as defined by
Section 382.0565, Health and Safety Code.
Explanation: The change is necessary to conform the meaning
of the phrase "FutureGen emissions profile" in proposed Section
5.558(a), Water Code, to the phrase as it is defined by proposed
Section 382.0565, Health and Safety Code.
