Amend CSSB 312 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. Section 228.201, Transportation Code, is amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) In determining the number of nontolled lanes required to comply with Subsection (a)(3), the department:
(1) may consider only a general-purpose lane that is part of the highway; and
(2) may not consider a lane of a frontage road to be a nontolled lane before or after reconstruction of the highway.
SECTION 2. Section 228.201(c), Transportation Code, as added by this Act, applies only to a highway reconstruction in accordance with Section 228.201(a)(3), Transportation Code, that is begun on or after the effective date of this Act. A reconstruction begun before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect when the reconstruction began, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
