A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the issuance of a permit authorizing the use of certain
temporary on-site sewage disposal systems.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 366, Health and Safety
Code, is amended by adding Section 366.0513 to read as follows:
Sec. 366.0513. PERMITS FOR CERTAIN TEMPORARY SYSTEMS. (a)
An authorized agent may issue a permit to authorize the use of a
temporary on-site sewage disposal system that:
(1) operates in conjunction with the pumping and
hauling of wastewater produced by the system; and
(2) serves a property that:
(A) has been subdivided for residential use; and
(B) is of insufficient size to accommodate
on-site disposal of all wastewater in compliance with this chapter.
(b) A permit issued under this section:
(1) may authorize the use of a system and the
associated pumping and hauling activities described by Subsection
(a) for not more than one year from the date of issuance; and
(2) may not be renewed.
SECTION 2. Section 366.0513, Health and Safety Code, as
added by this Act, applies only to an application for the issuance
of a permit for an on-site sewage facility submitted on or after the
effective date of this Act. An application submitted before the
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
date that application was submitted, and the former law is
continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
