House Bill 2682 amends the Transportation Code to remove, in relation to a municipality's authority to declare a speed limit of not less than 25 miles per hour for a highway or part of a highway in the municipality that is not a part of the state highway system, the condition that the highway be 35 feet or less in width and a highway along which vehicular parking is not prohibited on one or both sides of the highway. The bill specifies that the authority applies only to a two-lane, undivided highway or part of a highway. The bill also establishes certain reporting and publication requirements for the governing body of a municipality that declares a lower speed limit on such a highway.
