Caption: Relating to the creation of an environmental product declaration grant program for manufacturers of ready-mixed concrete.
Initially Referred to House Environmental Regulation Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 1499 aims to create a grant program under the Texas Water Code to support manufacturers of ready-mixed concrete. The program would reimburse these manufacturers for costs associated with accessing databases or software to generate environmental product declarations (EPDs), which provide verified environmental impact assessments of products. Grant recipients must commit to utilizing EPDs for their products, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is tasked with establishing rules and procedures to manage the program.
