Relating to the permitting of certain concrete plants located in an area of a municipality not subject to zoning regulations.

HB 3338 restricts permits for certain concrete plants (those doing wet/dry batching or central mixing) located in areas without municipal zoning and within five miles of schools, day-care centers, or hospitals. It prevents the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality from issuing or authorizing such permits for new applications filed on or after September 1, 2025. Existing permits filed before that date remain valid under prior law. The bill does not change zoning regulations but adds a specific permit requirement for these facilities near sensitive locations.
