| IN RE: | HB3863 by Keffer (Relating to county transportation access plans.), As Introduced |
The bill would add Subchapter E to Chapter 615, Local Government Code, to require a transportation access plan approved by a county to be submitted to the reviewing agency before the approval, issuance, or renewal of a license, permit, or registration under provisions of the Health and Safety Code, Natural Resources Code, or Water Code for any location within the unincorporated area of the county. The access plan would be required to provide for recovery by the county for any additional costs to the county for construction or maintenance of county roads for access to the licensed, permitted, or registered site. Any additional costs would be determined by an independent licensed professional engineer. By order of the commissioners court, a county may waive the requirements of the subchapter.
It is assumed that any implementation costs could be absorbed within existing resources.
