BILL ANALYSIS

 

 

 

H.B. 2439

By: McCall

Transportation

Committee Report (Unamended)

 

 

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

Currently, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) may charge for parking at its facilities as compensation for the use of the public transportation system.  DART may also set fare rates according to a zone system or to another classification that the DART authority determines to be reasonable. 

 

H.B. 2439 allows a regional transportation authority to set parking fees according to a zone system or any other differential rate that the regional transportation authority determines to be reasonable.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

 

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

ANALYSIS

 

H.B. 2439 amends the Transportation Code to include parking fees among the compensation for the use of the public transportation system that may be set according to a zone system or to another classification that a regional transportation authority determines to be reasonable.

EFFECTIVE DATE

 

September 1, 2009.
