House Bill 3330 amends provisions of the Transportation Code relating to information logo signs, major shopping area guide signs, and major agricultural interest signs. It adds controlled-access highways inside urbanized areas with a population of 50,000 or more to the definition of highways eligible for the information logo signs. The bill authorizes the Texas Transportation Commission to contract with an individual, firm, group, or association to erect and maintain major shopping area guide signs. It also requires that a contract entered into by the commission and another entity to erect and maintain information logo signs, major shopping area guide signs, and major agricultural interest signs provide for the assessment of fees to be paid to the contractor by the commercial establishment, shopping area, or agricultural interest and for the remittance of at least 10 percent of the fees collected to the Texas Department of Transportation.
