Relating to the authority of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to authorize the transfer of an authorization to use a standard permit for certain concrete facilities.

SB 2271 prohibits the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality from allowing the transfer of a standard permit authorization when a concrete facility is sold. It directly affects buyers of specific concrete facilities, including plants performing wet or dry batching, central mixing, or crushing operations. The bill requires new permit applications from purchasers instead of inheriting the previous owner's authorization. This change applies to facilities covered under Sections 382.05195 or 382.05198 of the Health and Safety Code.
