Bill > SB763

This bill amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to establish new requirements for standard permits for permanent concrete plants. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) conduct a protectiveness review of these permits at least once every 10 years, with the ability to amend the permit as needed. If amendments are made, the commission must provide facility operators a reasonable amount of time to comply with the new permit requirements. The bill also updates the application process for standard permits for concrete plants, requiring more detailed plot plans that include specific information such as property lines, emission points, buildings, tanks, process vessels, and benchmark locations. Additionally, the bill requires the TCEQ to adopt necessary implementation rules by March 1, 2026, and the act will take effect on September 1, 2025. These changes aim to improve environmental oversight and provide clearer guidelines for concrete plant operations in Texas.
