TO: | Honorable Mike Krusee, Chair, House Committee on Transportation |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2557 by Zerwas (Relating to the authority of the Texas Department of Transportation to enter real property for a toll project.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and its authorized agents to provide notice to a property owner at least 14 days prior to exercising a right of entry onto the owner's property for survey or inspection purposes during the development of toll projects.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house or otherwise on September 1, 2007.
