House Bill 1107 amends the Transportation Code to require the Texas Transportation Commission to annually certify a county as economically disadvantaged, for purposes of obtaining relief from local matching funds requirements for highway projects, as soon as possible after the comptroller issues related economic indicators. The bill also requires the commission to determine whether to adjust a county's certification at the time a political subdivision in the county submits a highway project. The bill authorizes the commission to delegate these duties to the director of the Texas Department of Transportation or the director's designee.
