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.
