Senate Bill 1609 amends the Transportation Code to set forth rulemaking requirements for the Texas Transportation Commission in the exercise of its authority to manage access to or from a controlled access highway. The requirements relate to a decision by a Texas Department of Transportation district office denying a request for access to a specific location on a controlled access highway, procedures for appealing a denial, access management standards for access points to or from a controlled access highway that are located on undeveloped property, a proposed highway construction project that will permanently alter permitted access to or from a controlled access highway, criteria for determining when a variance to access management standards may be granted, and the application of new access management standards to the remodeling or demolition and rebuilding of a business.
