Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 88(R)

Senate Bill 261

Senate Author:  Springer et al.

Effective:  Vetoed

House Sponsor:  Ashby


            Senate Bill 261 amends the Transportation Code to establish that an assembled trailer is considered to be a trailer, semitrailer, or travel trailer for purposes of the Certificate of Title Act and for vehicle registration purposes. Among other provisions, the bill sets out the registration application process for the owner of an assembled trailer and defines "hobbyist" under that act.

Governor's Reason for Veto: "While Senate Bill No. 261 is important, it is simply not as important as cutting property taxes. At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
