SB 1147 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the withdrawal of the State of Texas from the Interstate Mining Compact.

Texas Senate Bill 1147 directs the state to withdraw from the Interstate Mining Compact, effective immediately upon the governor's signature (May 13, 2025). The bill requires the governor to notify other compact states and publish withdrawal notice in the Texas Register. It abolishes two state offices - the Interstate Mining Compact Commissioner and Texas Mining Council - and repeals Chapter 132 of the Natural Resources Code. This bill affects Texas state agencies and officials managing mining-related interstate agreements, ending Texas's participation in the compact.

MODERATE

The bill text was reformatted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive policy content regarding Texas withdrawal from the Interstate Mining Compact remains unchanged, but the formatting was cleaned up, page numbers were removed, and official certification signatures were added.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal amendment markup symbols and page numbers that were present in the draft version.

Added official certification signatures for the Senate President, House Speaker, Secretary of the Senate, Chief Clerk of the House, and Governor.

Inserted a note about digital content accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) at the top of the document.

Deleted the original bill header line 'By: AABirdwell' and replaced it with the enrolled bill identifier.
