Schools, churches, day cares and hospitals within 440 yards get a say.
This bill widens the list of people who can ask the state environmental agency for a public hearing before a concrete plant gets a permit to build. It adds representatives of schools, places of worship, licensed day-care centers, hospitals and medical facilities within 440 yards of the proposed plant. It also drops the rule that a nearby resident must live in a permanent residence, so anyone residing within 440 yards can ask for a hearing on applications filed after the law takes effect.

89R11333 KRM-F By: Dutton H.B. No. 2642 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to the persons entitled to 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) In this subsection, "representative" means a person in a decision-making capacity with fiduciary responsibility, or that person's designee. For purposes of this section, only a representative of a school, place of worship, licensed day-care center, hospital, or medical facility located within 440 yards of the proposed plant or a person [ those persons actually ] residing [ in a permanent residence ] within 440 yards of the proposed plant may request a hearing under Section 382.056 as a person who may be affected. SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only to an application for an authorization to use a permit that is submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on or after the effective date of this Act. An application for an authorization to use a permit that was submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality before the effective date of 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.
