More people can ask for a public hearing on concrete plant permits.
The bill widens the list of people who can ask the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a public hearing on a proposed concrete plant permit. Besides people living within 440 yards of the plant, representatives of a nearby school, place of worship, licensed day-care center, hospital or medical facility could also request one, and the old limit to people in a 'permanent residence' is dropped. The commission must write rules on who counts as such a representative, and the new rights apply only to permit applications filed after those rules take effect.

89R12671 KRM-D By: Walle H.B. No. 3043 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) 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 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 submitted to 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 submitted to 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.
