Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the route designation for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles in certain counties.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 623.219(a) of the Texas Transportation Code to expand route designations for oversize and overweight vehicle permits issued by a port authority in a county bordering Mexico. Specifically, the bill adds a new route (3) that allows vehicles to travel from the intersection of State Highways 4 and 48 to Boca Chica Beach using State Highway 4. The existing law already specified several routes connecting international bridges to ports and industrial areas in the Rio Grande Valley, such as the Port of Brownsville and the Harlingen Industrial Park. The new route provision appears to provide additional flexibility for vehicle routing in this region, potentially benefiting local transportation and logistics. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving relevant authorities ample time to prepare for the route designation change.
