The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to enter into an agreement with the United States Department of Defense or another federal entity to allow TxDOT to assist in the provision of road services for military installations. The bill would stipulate that state funds may not be used to provide services under the agreement and would prohibit entering into an agreement if payment for the services provided would be made from federal highway funding provided to the State.
Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed any duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources and any costs for providing road services would be covered by payments received by TxDOT from the United States Department of Defense or another federal entity under an agreement authorized by the bill.
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
