| Description: |
The 82nd Texas Legislature, in passing Senate Bill 548, Senate Bill 1420 and House Bill 630, enacted Transportation Code, Chapter 201, Subchapter I-1, setting forth new requirements for the environmental review of highway projects, and requiring the department to adopt rules implementing Subchapter I-1. These same three bills also enacted Transportation Code, §222.006, Environmental Review Certification Process, requiring the department to, by rule, establish a process to certify department district environmental specialists who work on documents related to the environmental review process. This proposed rulemaking implements the recent legislation, and makes other substantive and non-substantive changes to the department's existing environmental review rules intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the environmental review process for transportation projects. |
