Legislative and Interim sessions. Meeting files, bill files, working files and
research files document the Committee's interest in water resources, clean air,
low-level radiation, superfund sites, pests and pesticides, recycling, leasing
and management of public lands, various hunting and fishing issues, and
aquaculture. Included in these records are hearing files of the Joint Committee

The Senate Natural Resources Committee is a standing Senate Committee
which has been Chaired by Senators H. Tati Santiesteban, Bill Sims, and J.E.
"Buster" Brown. Frequently, subcommittees on Agriculture and/or Water have been
created. The Committee reviews matters concerning the environment and natural
resources of Texas and has oversight of such such agencies as the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department and the Texas Natural Resources Conservation
Commission.
As a standing committee (according to the Texas Administrative Code,
Section 301, Subchapter B), the Senate Natural Resources Committee is expected
to operate regardless of whether or not the Legislature is currently in session
and must do the following: conduct a continuing study of any matter within its
jurisdiction and of the instrumentalities of government administering or
executing the matter; examine the administration and execution of all laws
relating to jurisdictional matters; conduct investigations to collect adequate
information and materials necessary to perform its duties; formulate
legislative programs; and initiate, draft, and recommend to the Senate any
legislation the committee deems necessary and desirable. The committee chair
must introduce or cause to be introduced the legislative programs developed by
the committee and shall mobilize efforts to secure the passage of such
proposals. The committee may inspect the records, documents, and files of each
state department, agency, or office, as needed, to perform its duties. As a
standing committee, it is not limited to considering items submitted by
individual legislators, but must search for problems within its jurisdiction
and develop, formulate, initiate, and secure passage of any legislative
solution the committee deems desirable. When the legislature is in session, the
committee may meet when it chooses, so long as it adheres to applicable
legislative requirements and rules of procedure. When the legislature is not in
session, it will meet when necessary to transact the committee's business
wherever authorized by the legislation which created the committee.

Records of the Texas Senate's Natural Resources Committee consist of
correspondence, newsletters, publications, printed materials, newspaper
clippings, newspapers, presentation material, petitions, notes, memoranda,
reports, resolutions, minutes, speeches, legislative bills, bill analyses,
logs, agenda, calendar placement forms, witness lists, petitions, legal
documents, exhibits, and witness registration cards from 1940, 1956-1957,
1971-1984, and 1989-1997 (bulk 1989-1997), predominantly the 68th and 73rd
through 75th Legislative and Interim sessions. The records were maintained by
Chairs H. Tati Santiesteban, Bill Sims, and J.E. (Buster) Brown. Meeting files
document formal committee gatherings to consider legislation directed to the
committee and local hearings held to address concerns and gather information
regarding proposed and existing legislation and procedures. Bill files document
the legislative bills considered by the Texas Senate's Natural Resources
Committee during the 75th Legislature, 1997. Working files document the work
done on topics of concern to the Natural Resources Committee. Research files
contain background materials on agencies and issues of interest to the Natural
Resources Committee. Subjects include water resources and regulations, clean
air, low-level radiation issues, superfund sites, pests and pesticides,
recycling, leasing and management of public lands, various hunting and fishing
issues, and aquaculture (specifically, the possible regulation of aquatic
activities such as fisheries, shrimperies, the management of exotic aquatic
plants and animals, and the discharge of wastewater and material from such
aquatic industries). Also featured are materials regarding House Bill 2473 (the
Texas Environmental, Health, and Safety Audit Privilege Act concerning
voluntary environmental self-audits), the proposed Columbia Bottomlands
National Wildlife Refuge, revision of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, and
various administrative, operational, and regulatory issues regarding the Texas
Natural Resources Conservation Commission.
Included in these records are hearing files of the Joint Committee on
Water Resources, 68th Interim Session, chaired by the then chair of the Senate
Natural Resources Committee, Senator Santiestiban. During the 68th Legislature
a water resources package containing several constitutional amendments passed
the Texas Senate but stalled in the House. The Legislature thus decided to hold
interim hearings on the matter and appointed the Joint Committee on Water
Resources. The records of this Committee appear to have been maintained
alongside, and transferred to the State Archives with, the records of the
Natural Resources Committee Records.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

| Research files contain correspondence, newsletters, publications,
printed materials, photocopied newspaper clippings, newspapers, presentation
material, petitions, and notes. Material ranges in date from 1989 to 1996 (bulk
1993-1995). The files are subject files holding background and research
materials on agencies and issues of interest to the Natural Resources
Committee. Subjects include waste and recycling, water, forms of energy,
environmental quality, endangered species, agriculture, and hunting/fishing.
|
| Arrangement |
| Records are arranged in the order in which they arrived; several
boxes are in alphabetical order by subject. |
| Preferred Citation |
| Research files, National Recources Committee, Senate, Texas
Legislature. Archives and Information Services Division, Texas State Library
and Archives Commission. |
| Accession Information |
| Accession number: 1999/095 |
| These records were transferred to the Archives and Information
Services Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission by the
Senate Natural Resources Committee on January 21, 1999. |
| Restrictions on Access |
| Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under the Public Information Act exceptions including violations of the privacy
of individuals, these records must be reviewed by an archivist before they can
be accessed for research. The records may be requested for research under the
provisions of the Public Information Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 552).
The researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a request
by mail, fax, or email including enough description and detail about the
information requested to enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate
the information requested. If our review reveals records covered by exceptions
to the Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an Open Records Opinion
from the Attorney General before the files can be provided to the researcher.
The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten business days after
receiving the written request to make this determination. |
| Restrictions on Use |
| Where necessary, records will be redacted or restricted to
comply with the Public Information Act and the Attorney General's decision. |
