Texas HB2231 amends the Health and Safety Code to modify the approval process for standard permits for concrete batch plants.

Texas HB2231 amends the Health and Safety Code to change how the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality considers applications for standard permits for concrete batch plants. The executive director must approve or deny the application within 35 days of the public hearing. The decision must be based on whether the application meets specific requirements and consider public comments, potential harm to property values, and the facility's location relative to community assets. If the application is denied, the executive director must state the reasons and any necessary modifications.
