| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 361.064, Health and Safety Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows: | ||
| (c) A permit application under this subchapter must | ||
| contain: | ||
| (1) a certification from the applicant that the | ||
| applicant has mailed to each resident living one mile or less from | ||
| the site and each community organization, nonprofit organization, | ||
| or civic club located two miles or less from the site: | ||
| (A) an explanation of the site's proposed | ||
| operations; and | ||
| (B) a questionnaire seeking community comments | ||
| regarding the site's proposed operations; and | ||
| (2) any comments made by residents, organizations, or | ||
| clubs in response to the questionnaire. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
| to an application for a permit that is submitted to the Texas | ||
| Commission on Environmental Quality on or after the effective date | ||
| of this Act. An application for a permit that was submitted to the | ||
| Texas Commission on Environmental Quality before the effective date | ||
| of this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the | ||
| application was filed, and the former law is continued in effect for | ||
| that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
