IN RE:
HB2018 by Brown, Betty (Relating to eligibility for a municipal setting designation related to potential impacts to groundwater quality of solid waste activities.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code by removing the population bracket for requests for a municipal setting designation of property within the corporate limits or extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality authorized by statute. The bracket in current statute is a municipality with a population of at least 20,000. The proposed change in statute would result in property in all municipalities becoming eligible for a municipal setting designation related to potential impacts to groundwater quality of solid waste activities.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
