BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 382.056, Health and Safety Code, is | ||
amended by adding Subsection (g-1) to read as follows: | ||
(g-1) The notice of intent required by Subsection (a) and | ||

may be consolidated into one notice if: | ||
(1) not later than the 15th day after the date the | ||
application for which the notice is required is received, the | ||
commission determines the application to be administratively | ||
complete; and | ||
(2) the preliminary decision and draft permit related | ||

on Environmental Quality on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
An application for a permit filed before the effective date of this | ||

law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
