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

HB 5235 creates a specific permitting pathway for concrete plants in Texas cities that lack zoning regulations. It prohibits using certain standard permits (under Sections 382.0518, 05195, 05196, or 051985) for these plants but allows the use of a standard permit under Section 382.05198 instead, provided applicants comply with existing safety rules (Section 382.056). The bill directly affects concrete plants performing wet/dry batching or central mixing in unzoned municipal areas. It applies only to permit applications filed on or after September 1, 2025, and does not change existing regulations for applications filed before that date.
