| relating to corrective action plans for excessive emissions events | ||
| involving certain concrete facilities. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 382.0216, Health and Safety Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Subsection (c-1) to read as follows: | ||
| (c-1) This subsection applies only to an excessive | ||
| emissions event from a facility that is a concrete crushing | ||
| facility or a concrete plant that performs wet batching, dry | ||
| batching, or central mixing. Before a facility to which this | ||
| subsection applies files a corrective action plan under Subsection | ||
| (c), the facility must submit the proposed corrective action plan | ||
| to the appropriate local governmental officials and provide those | ||
| officials with an opportunity to comment on the plan in accordance | ||
| with rules adopted by the commission under this subsection. The | ||
| commission shall adopt rules to implement this subsection, | ||
| including rules establishing the length of the comment period, | ||
| specifying the local government officials to whom a proposed | ||
| corrective action plan is required to be submitted, and specifying | ||
| the process for local governmental officials to submit comments on | ||
| the proposed corrective action plan. The commission shall reject | ||
| and deny a corrective action plan filed by a facility to which this | ||
| subsection applies if the commission finds that the facility did | ||
| not comply with the requirements of this subsection or rules | ||
| adopted under this subsection before filing the plan. | ||
| SECTION 2. (a) Not later than December 1, 2025, the Texas | ||
| Commission on Environmental Quality shall adopt the rules required | ||
| by Section 382.0216(c-1), Health and Safety Code, as added by this | ||
| Act. | ||
| (b) Section 382.0216, Health and Safety Code, as amended by | ||
| this Act, applies only to a corrective action plan filed with the | ||
| Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on or after January 1, | ||
| 2026. A corrective action plan filed with the Texas Commission on | ||
| Environmental Quality before January 1, 2026, is governed by the | ||
| law in effect on the date of filing, 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, 2025. | ||
