Constituent complains, legislator asks, agency explains any denial within 90 days.
The bill lets a Texas legislator ask the state environmental agency to make a surprise inspection of a permanent concrete batch plant, on behalf of a constituent who lives in the district, would be affected by the plant, and files a written complaint. It touches concrete plants running under a standard air permit, the residents near them, their legislators and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The agency must put these requests at the front of the line, keep a file on each one, send its complaint policies to the legislator and the resident, and explain any denial within 90 days.
