SB2790

The Texas Department of Transportation must design and construct commemorative markers and place them at each end and suitable intermediate locations, subject to the existing funding condition. That condition prohibits designing, constructing or erecting the markers unless grant or donation funds cover those costs. The law does not itself establish that money has been received or signs installed. Final law, section 1; 2013 act establishing the funding condition.

All five posted versions retain the same route, commemorative name, funding condition and effective date. The section number changes from proposed 225.243 in the introduced and Senate committee versions to 225.276 in the engrossed and final texts; the act also authorizes renumbering to avoid duplicate designations. The official amendment index lists no amendments. All versions; Introduced text; Amendment index; Final law.

The measure provides public recognition through a highway designation and, once funded, markers. It does not authorize a road expansion, impose a new toll or promise a transportation-safety improvement. Donated or granted funds must cover marker design, construction and erection; the briefing does not identify a donor or claim the signs are already present. Final law; Funding rule.

The sole posted fiscal note, dated May 2, anticipates no significant state fiscal implication, assumes any associated costs can be absorbed with existing resources and anticipates no local-government fiscal implication. It gives no project-specific dollar cost. Those estimates do not remove the statutory grant-or-donation condition. Fiscal note.
