Digest
HB 3926 requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to consider the cumulative effects of air contaminant emissions when issuing or renewing an emissions permit. Specifically, the bill mandates that TCEQ evaluate the combined impact of emissions from a facility and other facilities within a three-mile radius when determining whether the facility's emissions violate state air quality standards. This requirement applies to applications submitted on or after the bill's effective date.
