The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to enter into an agreement to allow an airport, land port, or sea port to acquire a portion of a state highway road. The bill would require an agreement to provide that the airport, land port, or sea port is responsible for maintaining the property.
Based on the analysis provided by TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources. It is assumed any savings from road maintenance responsibilities transferring from TxDOT to another entity that could result from an agreement authorized by the bill would be reallocated to other TxDOT road construction and maintenance program needs.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
