FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB819 by Duncan (Relating to the disposal of demolition waste from abandoned or nuisance buildings by certain local governments.), As Introduced |
The bill would allow the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to issue a permit by rule (PBR) to enable certain counties or municipalities to dispose of demolition waste from buildings that are abandoned or found to be a nuisance. The bill would change the current population criteria from 10,000 or less to 12,000 or less. Disposal could only occur on land owned or controlled by the municipality or county, and the land would need to qualify for an arid exemption under the agency’s rules.
Passage of the bill is not expected to have a significant impact on TCEQ's workload.
