Texas SB796 allows a one-time 90-day extension for starting construction on certain concrete batch plants.

Texas SB796 amends the Health and Safety Code to allow the executive director to grant a one-time 90-day extension for starting construction on concrete batch plants that perform wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing. The bill requires the executive director to notify the relevant state senator and representative if an extension is requested. If construction does not begin within the extended period, the applicant must submit a new application for authorization. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality must adopt necessary rules by September 1, 2026.
