440 yards still matters. Now day-care centers and hospitals get a say too.
The bill widens who can ask the state environmental agency 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 can now ask, and the residency test drops the "permanent residence" wording. The agency must write rules on who counts as a representative, and the change applies to permit applications filed after those rules take effect.

90R119 KRM-D By: Walle H.B. No. 506 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, 2027.
