The bill, H.B. No. 2267, introduces new regulations for monitoring emissions from specific facilities that produce air contaminants, particularly those involved in the production of aggregates, concrete crushing, and concrete plants. It adds a new section, Sec. 382.0162, to Subchapter B of Chapter 382 in the Health and Safety Code, which mandates that individuals holding permits for these types of facilities must conduct fence-line or property-line monitoring of their emissions. This requirement aims to enhance oversight and ensure compliance with air quality standards.
The bill specifies that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will establish rules to enforce this monitoring requirement. The provisions of this act will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for the necessary regulatory framework to be developed and implemented.
