Public hearings at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
This bill widens who can ask the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a public hearing on a permit for a new concrete plant. It doubles the distance from 440 to 880 yards, drops the old requirement that the person live in a permanent residence, and adds representatives of nearby schools, places of worship, licensed day-care centers, hospitals and medical facilities. Neighbors and institutions farther from a proposed plant can now force a hearing, but only on permit applications filed after the commission writes rules defining who counts as a representative.

89R6521 KRM-F By: Collier H.B. No. 1726 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to who may request a public hearing from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality related to the construction of a concrete plant. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Section 382.058(c), Health and Safety Code, is amended to read as follows: (c) For purposes of this section, only a representative of a school, place of worship, licensed day-care center, hospital, or medical facility or a person [ those persons actually ] residing [ in a permanent residence ] within 880 [ 440 ] yards of the proposed plant may request a hearing under Section 382.056 as a person who may be affected. The commission shall adopt rules establishing who qualifies as a representative of a school, place of worship, licensed day-care center, hospital, or medical facility under this section. SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only to a hearing regarding an application for a permit that is filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on or after the effective date of the rules described by Section 382.058(c), Health and Safety Code, as amended by this Act. A hearing regarding an application for a permit that was filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality before the effective date of the rules described by Section 382.058(c), Health and Safety Code, as amended by this Act, is governed by the law in effect at the time the application was filed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
