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

SB 276 requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to send permit applications for certain concrete facilities to local governments before issuing permits. It applies specifically to concrete crushing facilities or plants (doing wet/dry batching or mixing) located in incorporated areas of municipalities without zoning regulations (population >2 million) or unincorporated county areas (population >4.5 million). The TCEQ must wait 31 days after notifying local officials before approving a permit, and must deny it if the local government rejects the application within that period. This law applies only to new permit applications filed on or after September 1, 2025.
