(a) This section applies only to a municipally owned Type I municipal solid waste landfill permitted by the state before 1980 that:
(1) is located wholly inside the boundaries of a municipality; and
(2) is owned by a municipality other than the municipality in which it is located.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, the commission may not approve an application for the issuance, amendment, or renewal of a permit that seeks to expand the area or capacity of a landfill unless the governing body of the municipality in which the landfill is located first approves by resolution or order the issuance, amendment, or renewal of the permit.
(c) The commission shall provide the members of the legislature who represent the district containing the landfill described in the permit with an opportunity to comment on the application and shall consider those comments in evaluating an application under this subchapter.
