Narrative:

I was working local control west when an eclipse 500; taxied out to runway 13L via taxiway alpha. The eclipse 500 called ready for departure; and I responded with 'roger;' due to an aircraft exiting the runway. I then cleared the eclipse 500 for takeoff; and I noticed they had passed the new hold short line and were close to the runway where the old short line was located. A B737 was on radar vectors for the ILS 13L; 9 NM of dal on the radar base leg; not of my frequency. The runways and taxiways appeared to be wet due to a continuous light rain all morning. I do not believe this hold line is in accordance with published requirements.
