Relating to the construction of certain concrete plants under a standard permit.
SB 2351 amends Texas Health and Safety Code provisions to require concrete plant operators with pending construction under an old standard permit to update their plans if the permit standards change. It specifically affects operators of permanent concrete plants performing wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing who haven’t started construction before a permit amendment and have requested an extension. The bill mandates that operators revise their construction plans to meet the updated permit requirements if they meet both conditions. This creates a procedural adjustment for existing permit holders, not a new environmental or operational standard. The law took effect immediately upon the governor’s signature on May 24, 2025.
