AN ACT

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 382.05195, Health and Safety Code, is

amended by adding Subsection (e-1) and amending Subsection (k) to

issued under this section that authorizes the operation of a

permanent concrete plant that performs wet batching, dry batching,

shall at least once every eight years conduct a protectiveness

review of the permit regarding the operation of a permanent

concrete plant described by this subsection. If the commission

amends the permit after a protectiveness review, the commission

shall allow facilities authorized to emit air contaminants under

the permit as it read before the amendment to continue to operate

until a date provided by the commission under Subsection (f) that

provides facility operators a reasonable amount of time to comply

with the amended permit.

(k) An application for
an authorization to use
[
the issuance

of
] a standard permit under this section for a concrete plant that

performs wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing, including a

permanent, temporary, or specialty concrete batch plant, as defined

by the commission, must include a plot plan that clearly shows:

(1) a distance scale;

(2) a north arrow;

(3) all property lines, emission points, buildings,

tanks, and process vessels and other process equipment in the area

in which the facility will be located;

(4) at least two benchmark locations in the area in

which the facility will be located; and

(5) if the permit requires a distance, setback, or

buffer from other property or structures as a condition of the

permit, whether the required distance or setback will be met.

SECTION 2. Not later than March 1, 2026, the Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality shall adopt rules necessary to

implement the changes in law made by this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
