More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the establishment of a certification program for public work contracting purposes for operators of certain facilities that emit air contaminants’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill mandates the creation of a certification program for operators of facilities involved in aggregate production and concrete batching, as outlined in the Health and Safety Code. The commission will establish rules and best management practices focused on air quality, water use, and facility operations. Facilities will be inspected for compliance with these practices, and operators can be certified as "best practices operators" if they meet the standards. Non-compliance could lead to certification revocation if issues aren't resolved within 90 days. Reinspection can be requested by operators for certification or recertification after revocation. The bill also stipulates that bids for public work contracts involving such facilities must include a certification statement starting September 1, 2028. The act takes effect on September 1, 2025.
