Bill > HB3828

This bill relates to the cessation of tolls by toll project entities in certain circumstances. It amends the Transportation Code to add a new subchapter that requires toll projects to become part of the state highway system and be maintained without tolls once the costs of acquisition and construction have been paid and the bonds have been repaid. However, the bill allows a toll project entity to extend the toll cessation date by five years if approved by voters in an election. The bill also clarifies that toll projects are owned in perpetuity by the entity that procured them unless they are transferred to another governmental entity.
