Summary

The governor notifies the other states. Notice in the Texas Register.

This bill pulls Texas out of the Interstate Mining Compact and tells the governor to notify the other member states and publish notice in the Texas Register. It touches the state's compact commissioner office, the Texas Mining Council, and the state law that sets up Texas's role in the compact. One year after the notice is published, the commissioner office and the council are abolished and the compact chapter of the Natural Resources Code is repealed.
