What This Bill Does

Restricts the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality from issuing permits for concrete plants located in municipal areas without zoning regulations and within five miles of schools or licensed day-care centers. The legislation aims to control the placement of concrete plants near sensitive locations, potentially impacting industrial development in unzoned municipal areas by creating additional geographic limitations for concrete plant operations.
