Texas HB3043 amends eligibility for requesting public hearings on concrete plant permits.

Texas HB3043 modifies the Health and Safety Code to restrict who can request a public hearing from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regarding concrete plant permits. Only representatives of schools, places of worship, licensed day-care centers, hospitals, medical facilities, or residents within 440 yards of the proposed plant can request such hearings. The commission will establish rules defining who qualifies as a representative. The changes apply to permit applications submitted after the rules' effective date.
