Senate Bill 507 amends the Transportation Code to require the Texas Transportation Commission, on a competitively and technologically neutral and nondiscriminatory basis with respect to other providers of broadband service, to establish an accommodation process that authorizes broadband‑only providers to use state highway rights‑of‑way, subject to highway purposes, for new broadband facility installations, additions to or maintenance of existing broadband facility installations, adjustments or relocations of broadband facilities, and existing broadband facilities retained within the rights‑of‑way.
