Environmentalists applaud bills under Legislature's deliberation AUSTIN (AP) — Environmen tal groups Tuesday unveiled their picks and pans for the legis lative session, touting four pro posals as "some of the best envi ronmental bills that have ever been debated by the Texas Legis lature." The bills praised by the groups include measures that would in crease criminal penalties for pol luting; require companies to draft plans on reducing their wastes; and streamline the state's environmental regulation by creating the Department of Natural Resources. All three of those measures are in committee in both houses, ex cept the final one, which has been approved for consideration by the full Senate. Also vaunted was a bill that would impose a one-year mora torium on new hazardous waste disposal sites in Texas. That bill assed the Senate last week and as been referred to a House committee. "We really think that these four major bills represent proba bly some of the best environ mental protection legislation that the state of Texas has ever seen," said Brigid Shea of Texas Clean Water Action.
