Texas SB1783 prohibits concrete crushing facilities from crushing concrete contaminated by certain chemicals.

Texas SB1783 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit concrete crushing facilities from crushing concrete contaminated by chemicals that may cause adverse human health effects.

Facilities operating under permits issued before the rules' effective date must comply as if their permits were issued afterward. The act takes effect September 1, 2025.
