Bill > HB3645

This bill amends the Texas Transportation Code by adding a new section that clarifies the public information status of toll project entities. Specifically, the bill states that information from toll project entities is considered public information under Chapter 552 of the Government Code, with one key exception: the confidentiality of electronic toll collection customer account information will still be protected. This means that most documents, records, and details related to toll projects and comprehensive development agreements will be accessible to the public, ensuring transparency in how toll projects are managed and financed. The new provision aims to provide greater public access to information about toll projects while still maintaining privacy protections for individual customer account details. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving entities time to prepare for the new transparency requirements.
