relating to nontolled lanes on a highway that has been converted | ||
from a nontolled highway to a toll project. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 228.201, Transportation Code, is amended | ||
by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows: | ||
(c) In determining the number of nontolled lanes required to | ||
comply with Subsection (a)(3), the department may consider only a | ||
general-purpose lane that is part of the highway and may not include | ||
a lane of a frontage road. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 228.201(c), Transportation Code, as | ||
added by this Act, applies only to a highway reconstruction in | ||
accordance with Section 228.201(a)(3), Transportation Code, that | ||
is begun on or after the effective date of this Act. A | ||
reconstruction begun before the effective date of this Act is | ||
governed by the law in effect when the reconstruction began, and the | ||
former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
