Relating to public meetings held by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on requests for authorization to operate a composting facility.

SB 2240 requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to hold a public meeting in the county where a composting facility is located or proposed, if requested by a state legislator representing that area. This applies to facilities needing a permit, registration, or notification under TCEQ rules. The bill directly affects TCEQ (which must host the meetings), composting facility applicants (who must have meetings triggered by local legislators), and Texas state legislators (who can initiate the process). It does not change facility approval standards, only the public engagement process for such requests. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
