| 88_R | HB 1360 | Read Bill | Morales Shaw, Penny (D) | Failed: Referred to Environmental Regulation | 2023.03.03 | Public Notice | Monitor | 3 | Relating to a required online posting of certain environmental and water use permit applications. | Reid's comments: "The bill doesn’t outright harm any of the existing public notice requirements in the Water Code. Those are all left intact. The internet posting looks like it’s designed to supplement the public notice, with a requirement that the newspaper notice include a link to the online materials. That said, it’s obviously a move in the direction of online posting (on a governmental site), which could endanger newspaper notice in the future. The bill could also be amended, relatively easily, to dispense with newspaper notice and replace it with online posting. So I think it’s worth keeping an eye on."
