Relating to air quality permits for concrete crushing facilities and concrete plants located in certain areas.

SB 2272 requires businesses applying for air quality permits for concrete crushing facilities or concrete plants (performing wet/dry batching or central mixing) to submit a community growth analysis. This applies only to facilities located in unincorporated county areas within one mile of a residential subdivision with at least 500 lots where construction hasn’t started. The analysis must assess the facility’s potential social and economic impacts on future residential communities and ensure compliance with air quality regulations. The requirement takes effect for permit applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025.
