TEMPORARY ORDERS PRIOR TO NOTICE AND HEARING.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The commission may issue temporary orders relating to a surface mining operation without notice and hearing, or with the notice and hearing as the commission considers practical under the circumstances, when necessary to enable action to be taken more expeditiously than is otherwise provided by this chapter to effectuate the policy and purposes of this chapter.
(b) If the commission issues a temporary order under this authority without a hearing, and if the subject matter of the order is such as to require a public hearing under Section 131.163 of this code or under any rule of the commission, the order shall set a time and place for a public hearing to be held. The hearing shall be held as soon after the temporary order is issued as is practical.
(c) At the hearing, the commission shall affirm, modify, or set aside the temporary order. If the nature of the commission's action requires, further proceedings shall be conducted as appropriate under provisions of Chapter 2001, Government Code.
(d) The requirements of Sections 131.159 and 131.160 of this code relating to the time for notice, newspaper notice, and method of giving a person notice do not apply to the hearing, but general notice of the hearing shall be given that the commission considers practical under the circumstances.
