TO: | Honorable Mike Krusee, Chair, House Committee on Transportation |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3710 by Krusee (Relating to outdoor advertising on certain toll roads.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to enter into a comprehensive development agreement to allow a person to place off-premise outdoor media and advertising within the right-of-way of a state toll facility. To the extent allowed by federal law, the bill would exempt such outdoor media located on a state highway toll project, including a turnpike on the Trans-Texas Corridor, from the general restrictions on outdoor signs on rural roads.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the state.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2007.
