The bill, S.B. No. 2273, introduces a new section, 382.0162, to the Health and Safety Code, specifically addressing the monitoring of opacity of emissions from certain concrete facilities. This section applies to individuals or entities holding permits for facilities involved in concrete crushing or those that operate concrete plants performing wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing. The bill mandates that these facilities must have a trained employee or agent on-site during all operational hours to monitor air contaminant emissions in accordance with rules set by the commission.

The legislation aims to enhance environmental oversight by ensuring that personnel at these facilities are equipped with the necessary training to accurately measure and report opacity levels, thereby promoting compliance with air quality standards. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
