IN RE:
HB2584 by Raymond (Relating to regulation by the Texas Department of Transportation of the spacing along highways of outdoor advertising in certain municipalities.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 391 of the Transportation Code, relating to highway beautification on Interstate and primary systems and certain roads. The bill would stipulate that Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), in regulating outdoor advertising located in the corporate boundaries of a municipality with a population of more than 200,000 located in a county on the Texas-Mexico border with a population less than 300,000, may not require an electronic sign owned by the municipality to be more than 500 feet from another sign.
Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
