Bill > HB4950

This bill adds a new section to the Texas Transportation Code that establishes requirements for aeronautics structures, which are defined as structures that require notification to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under specific federal regulations. The bill mandates that these aeronautics structures must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. Additionally, the bill prevents individuals from filing a petition against the department solely based on being adversely affected by the department's enforcement of this new requirement. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the immediate effect vote. This legislation appears aimed at ensuring that aeronautics structures in Texas adhere to federal aviation standards and limiting potential legal challenges to the enforcement of these standards.
