Bill Analysis

HB 1059 would amend the Water Code to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to appoint a green storm water infrastructure and low impact development report group. The group would be required to produce a report each biennium on the use of green storm water infrastructure and low impact development in the state. The bill outlines the items that are to be included in the report, such as the public solicitation of comments under the authority of TCEQ.
