Digest
SB 1176 allows state legislators to request public comment periods for certain air permit applications. The bill amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to accept public comments and hold hearings on permit amendments, modifications, or renewals if requested by a legislator representing the affected area. This ensures greater legislative oversight and public engagement in air quality decisions.
