relating to the permitting of concrete batch plants located in an area of a municipality not subject to zoning regulations.
Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Unzoned city areas only. No state air permit near schools, day cares or hospitals, starting 2027.
This bill bars the state environmental agency from issuing permits for concrete batch plants in parts of a city that have no zoning rules when the plant would sit within five miles of a school, licensed day-care center, or hospital. It touches companies that want to run wet-batch, dry-batch, or central-mix concrete plants, and the neighbors in those unzoned city areas. Starting with permit applications filed on or after September 1, 2027, those plants cannot get a state air permit at those locations, while applications filed earlier follow the old rules.
