Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill affects administrative procedures within the department of natural resources. Division I of the bill creates a 60-day period during which an entity may appeal an order issued by the director or the department pursuant to the department’s authority in Code chapter 455B. The start of the 60-day period is contingent on what type of entity seeks an appeal. Division I makes conforming changes throughout Code chapter 455B. The issuance and appeal of an order pursuant to Code chapters 455D (waste volume reduction and recycling) and 458A (oil, gas, and other minerals) also conform to the new 60-day period.
