	Amend CSSB 1 under the Article XI items to the Texas 
Department of Transportation by adding the following appropriately 
numbered rider:
	____.  Relocation of Utility Facilities.  (a)  In this 
section, "utility" includes:
		(1)  publicly, privately, and cooperatively owned 
telecommunications utilities that are subject to the authority of 
the Public Utility Commission of Texas;
		(2)  a telecommunications provider, as defined by 
Section 51.002, Utilities Code;
		(3)  a video service provider, as defined by Section 
66.002, Utilities Code; and
		(4)  a cable operator, as defined by 47 U.S.C. Section 
522.                 
	(b)  The Texas Department of Transportation may not use 
federal funds provided as part of or as a result of the American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. No. 111-5), in whole 
or in part, to construct, reconstruct, maintain, improve, or repair 
a road, highway, or bridge, if the construction, reconstruction, 
maintenance, improvement, or repair will necessitate the 
relocation of a utility facility, unless the Texas Department of 
Transportation reimburses the utility owning and operating the 
facility for the expense attributable to the relocation. The 
reimbursement amount may not exceed the actual expense incurred by 
the utility in the complete or partial relocation of the utility 
facility less any salvage value of the existing facility.
	(c)  It is the intent of the legislature that the Texas 
Department of Transportation establish procedures for making 
reimbursements and notify affected utilities regarding those 
procedures.
