The bill would require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to conduct a study comparing the practices and operations of Texas toll project entities, including TxDOT, regional tollway authorities, regional mobility authorities, and county toll road authorities. The bill would require TxDOT to submit a report of the findings of the study to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the legislature not later than December 1, 2024. The provisions of the bill would expire on May 1, 2025.
Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed the department could accommodate the costs and duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill within existing resources.
It is assumed local toll project entities could incur costs or temporarily require additional resources to provide the information necessary for TxDOT to complete the study and report.
