Texas HB5193 aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and regulatory processes in state and local government.

Texas HB5193 amends various sections of the Government Code, Local Government Code, and Health and Safety Code to enhance efficiency and transparency in state and local government operations. It mandates that municipalities must grant or deny building permits within 45 days of application submission, refund fees if they fail to meet this deadline, and prohibits them from denying permits solely due to non-compliance. The bill also limits non-economic damages in personal injury claims and exempts small honey production operations from certain regulatory requirements.
