House Bill 1542 amends the Transportation Code to prohibit a design‑build contractor selected for a contract relating to highway projects or a contract under the Regional Mobility Authority Act from making changes to companies or entities identified as part of the design-build team in a response to a request for proposals except under certain circumstances. The bill establishes that any cost savings resulting from a violation of this prohibition accrue to the Texas Department of Transportation or applicable regional mobility authority and not to the design‑build contractor.
