Amend CSHB 1251 by striking SECTION 1 of the bill (Senate 
committee printing, page 1, lines 14-28) and substituting:
	SECTION 1.  Section 364.034, Health and Safety Code, is 
amended by amending Subsection (e) and adding Subsections (f) and 
(g) to read as follows:
	(e)  Except as provided by Subsections (f) and (g), nothing
[This section does not apply to a person who provides the public or 
private entity, public agency, or county with written documentation 
that the person is receiving solid waste disposal services from 
another entity.  Nothing] in this section shall limit the authority 
of a public agency, including a county or a municipality, to enforce 
its grant of a franchise or contract for solid waste collection and 
transportation services within its territory.  Except as provided 
by Subsection (f), the governing body of a municipality may provide 
that a contract it grants for solid waste collection and 
transportation services under this section or under other law 
supersedes inside of the municipality's boundaries any other 
contract adopted under this section.
	(f)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, a 
political subdivision, including a county or a municipality, may 
not restrict the right of an entity to contract with a licensed 
waste hauler for the collection and removal of domestic septage or 
of grease trap waste, grit trap waste, lint trap waste, or sand trap 
waste.
	(g)  Except as provided by this subsection, a person is 
exempt from the application of a requirement adopted by a public 
agency or county under Subsection (a) if the person, on the date the 
requirement is adopted, is receiving under a contract in effect on 
that date solid waste disposal services at a level that is the same 
as or higher than the level of services that otherwise would be 
required.  The exception provided by this subsection does not apply 
to a requirement adopted under this section by a municipality.  To 
qualify for the exemption provided by this subsection, the person 
must provide to the public agency or county written documentation 
acceptable to the public agency or county not later than the 30th 
day before the date the otherwise required services are scheduled 
to begin.  The exemption is effective only until the date the term 
of that contract expires according to the terms of that contract as 
provided on the date the requirement is adopted.  This subsection 
does not exempt from the adopted requirement a person whose 
contract is extended, by option or otherwise, after the date the 
requirement is adopted.  The person who provides solid waste 
disposal services to a person who qualifies for the exemption shall 
notify the public agency or county that the services under the 
contract have stopped not later than the 15th day after the date 
those services are stopped for any reason.
