Relating to the permitting by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality of solid waste facilities; authorizing the imposition of civil and administrative penalties.

SB 2214 amends Texas law to regulate permitting for solid waste facilities by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). It creates civil and administrative penalties for applicants who knowingly submit false or misleading information in permit applications, and requires the TCEQ to annually adjust application fees for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. The bill also mandates that permits be denied for applicants who provide false statements in applications. These changes directly affect solid waste facility applicants and permit holders, requiring them to provide accurate information and pay updated fees.
