Relating to the construction of certain concrete batch plants.
SB 796 allows one 90-day extension for construction deadlines on concrete batch plants (facilities mixing concrete) under existing standard permits. It requires the executive director to notify local state senators and representatives when an extension request is made. The bill also mandates the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to adopt implementing rules by September 1, 2026. This law applies only to new permit applications filed on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025), not to older applications.
