Senate Bill 1399
Senate Author: Schwertner et al.
Effective: Vetoed
House Sponsor: Bell, Keith
Senate Bill 1399 amends the Texas Clean Air Act, Health and Safety Code, to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, with regard to an air quality standard permit issued for a permanent concrete plant that performs wet batching, dry batching, or central mixing, to conduct a protectiveness review of the permit at least once every six years. Each authorization to use a permit is subject to review at least once every six years to determine whether the authority to operate the facility authorized by the permit should be renewed.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "Senate Bill No. 1399 appears to add more bureaucracy and cost."
