ANALYSIS
H.B. 3045 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize a county to offer, require the use of, and charge a fee for solid waste disposal services in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality wholly or partly located in a county with a population of more than 54,000 and less than 54,500. The bill prohibits such a municipality from providing solid waste disposal services or charging a fee for those services in the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction if the county provides those services under the bill's provisions.
