	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the authority of certain entities to enter into a
	comprehensive development agreement.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 223.201(j), Transportation Code, is
	amended to read as follows:
	(j) Before the department may enter into a comprehensive
	development agreement under Subsection (f), the department must:
	(1) for a project other than the State Highway 99
	(Grand Parkway) project, obtain, not later than August 31, 2017,
	the appropriate environmental clearance:
	(A) for the project; or
	(B) for the initial or base scope of the project
	if the project agreement provides for the phased construction of
	the project; [~~and~~]
	(2) present to the commission a full financial plan
	for the project, including costing methodology and cost proposals;
	and
	(3) obtain from the county commissioners court of each
	county containing a portion of a project that is the subject of the
	comprehensive development agreement an order approving the
	project.
	SECTION 2. Section 366.401, Transportation Code, is amended
	by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
	(e) An authority may not enter into a comprehensive
	development agreement under this subchapter until the authority
	obtains from the county commissioners court of each county
	containing a portion of a turnpike project that is the subject of
	the comprehensive development agreement an order approving the
	project.
	SECTION 3. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
	a comprehensive development agreement entered into on or after the
	effective date of this Act. A comprehensive development agreement
	entered into before the effective date of this Act is governed by
	the law in effect when the agreement was entered into, and the
	former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
