Relating to the location and operation of certain concrete batch plants.

HB 1513 restricts where new concrete batch plants (facilities that mix concrete) can operate by prohibiting them from being located within 550 feet of concrete crushing facilities, hot mix asphalt plants, or other concrete batch plants. It specifically applies to new plants seeking standard permits under existing rules, with an exception for plants already operating before September 1, 2025. For existing plants renewing permits after that date, the law requires them to maintain at least 550 feet of distance from those other facility types. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025, and directly affects concrete manufacturers seeking new locations or permit renewals.
