Establishes a certification program for operators of facilities emitting air contaminants, focusing on aggregate production and concrete batch plants.

The bill establishes a certification program for operators of facilities that emit air contaminants, specifically those involved in aggregate production and concrete batch plants. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will certify operators who comply with best management practices for air quality monitoring, water use, and blasting. Non-compliant operators will be notified and may face certification revocation. Bids and proposals for public work contracts involving these facilities must state that the operator holds a certification.
