Senate Bill 2052 amends the Local Government Code to revise the definition of "project" for purposes of projects that may be undertaken by all development corporations for the development, retention, or expansion of transportation facilities and for purposes of projects related to airport facilities that may be undertaken by a Type B development corporation if certain conditions are met. The bill adds railports and railport facilities to the definition of "project" for each purpose, respectively, and it removes language that made maintenance and repair facilities and cargo facilities relate only to air transportation for both purposes. The bill adds language to make related infrastructure located on or adjacent to an airport facility also relate to a railport facility for both purposes. The bill adds rail switching facilities and inland ports to the definition of "project" affecting all development corporations, and it specifies that ports are marine ports in that definition. The bill provides that its provisions give effect to changes made by House Bill 3440, Acts of the 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007.
