IN RE: | HB3309 by Rodriguez, Eddie (Relating to the authority to set maximum weights for state highways, roads, and bridges.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend Section 621.102, Transportation Code, to authorize the Executive Director of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), rather than the Texas Transportation Commission as authorized under current law, to set maximum weights for state highways, roads, and bridges.
Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
