HOUSE BILL 156 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Krusee et al. |
EFFECTIVE: Vetoed |
SENATE SPONSOR: Ogden |
House Bill 156 amends the Transportation Code to grant the governing body of a regional mobility authority the same powers and duties relating to condemning and purchasing real property granted to the Texas Transportation Commission and the Texas Department of Transportation and provides for certain exceptions.
Reason Given for Veto: "House Bill No. 156, which would give Regional Mobility Authorities the ability to condemn real property, conflicts with other legislation. House Bill No. 3588, which I have signed, covers eminent domain authority for Regional Mobility Authorities in a more comprehensive manner. I am vetoing this bill at the author's request."
