Bill > HB4086

This bill requires the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology to conduct a study to identify locations in Texas suitable for aggregate production operations (which are defined as operations that extract sand, gravel, crushed stone, or other aggregates from the earth) and to map those locations. The bureau is also required to identify existing land uses or planning policies that could make those locations incompatible for aggregate production. The bureau must maintain a database of the mapped locations and update the study and map at least once every 10 years. The bureau may cooperate with other state agencies, political subdivisions, and universities to fulfill these requirements. The bureau must submit a report to the legislature by December 1, 2025, summarizing the study, providing the map of identified locations, and recommending any legislative action necessary to preserve those locations for aggregate production.
