FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2456 by Talton (Relating to restrictions on the transfer of a fuel tank to a metal recycling entity.), As Introduced |
The bill would provide an exception from the prohibition on disposal of scrap fuel tanks that have been completely drained and rendered unusable. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality would be required to adopt standards which would define fuel tanks that are completely drained and rendered unusable. The change in the law would be effective for the sale or transfer of a fuel tank to a metal recycling entity on or after January 1, 2006.
Any costs to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality would be absorbed using existing agency resources.
