A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the authority of a municipality or county to request a
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, the only [those] persons
who [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 are:
(1) the municipality or county in which the proposed
plant will be located; and
(2) persons actually residing in a permanent residence
within 440 yards of the proposed plant.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an application for an authorization to use a permit that is
submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on or
after the effective date of this Act. An application for an
authorization to use a permit that was submitted to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality before the effective date of
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 September 1, 2023.
