The bill, H.B. No. 1498, amends Section 382.05195 of the Health and Safety Code to enhance the regulatory framework for concrete plants in Texas. It modifies Subsection (k) to require that applications for standard permits for concrete plants, which include various batching methods, must include a detailed plot plan. This plan must show essential features such as property lines, emission points, and compliance with any required distances or setbacks from other properties or structures.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new Subsection (l), which mandates that the commission establish reasonable requirements for the regular monitoring of air contaminant emissions from these concrete facilities. This monitoring is specifically aimed at plants that operate at or near the maximum production rates set by their respective standard permits. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
