A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to permit application requirements for taking sand, |
|
|
gravel, marl, shell, and mudshell. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 86.003, Parks and Wildlife Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) The commission shall prescribe a single application |
|
|
form for an individual or general permit. The form must require |
|
|
individual and general permit applicants to provide the same |
|
|
information, including information regarding: |
|
|
(1) the publication of notice in a daily or weekly |
|
|
newspaper other than the newspaper with the greatest circulation in |
|
|
the county or counties affected by the issuance of the permit; |
|
|
(2) the mailing addresses of alongshore property |
|
|
owners for one-half of a river mile above and below the proposed |
|
|
area of disturbance described in the permit; |
|
|
(3) a sedimentation impact assessment; |
|
|
(4) any amendments to the permit, if the application |
|
|
is for the renewal of a permit; |
|
|
(5) the tax delinquency status of the applicant, if |
|
|
the applicant is a corporation; and |
|
|
(6) the names of the proprietor or general partners of |
|
|
the applicant, if the applicant is a sole proprietorship or |
|
|
partnership. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to |
|
|
a permit application for the taking of sand, gravel, marl, shell, or |
|
|
mudshell that is filed with the Parks and Wildlife Department on or |
|
|
after the effective date of this Act. A permit application for the |
|
|
taking of sand, gravel, marl, shell, or mudshell filed before the |
|
|
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect when the |
|
|
permit application was filed, and the former law is continued in |
|
|
effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
