A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the implementation of county solid waste management
programs in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of certain
municipalities.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 364.011, Health and Safety Code, is
amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsection (a-1) to
read as follows:
(a) Subject to the limitation provided by Sections 361.151
and 361.152 (Solid Waste Disposal Act), a commissioners court by
rule may regulate solid waste collection, handling, storage, and
disposal in areas of the county not in a municipality or, except as
provided by Subsection (a-1), the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
a municipality.
(a-1) This subsection applies only to a county with a
population of more than 1.5 million in which at least 75 percent of
the population resides in a single municipality. A commissioners
court by rule may regulate solid waste collection, handling,
storage, and disposal by establishing a mandatory program under
Section 364.034 in an area located within the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of a municipality if the municipality does not provide
solid waste disposal services in that area.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
