H.R. No. 2689
R E S O L U T I O N
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of
Texas, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, That House Rule 13,
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to
resolve the differences on House Bill 2327 (establishment and
operation of a motor-bus-only lane pilot program in certain
counties) to consider and take action on the following matter:
House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(3), is suspended to permit the
committee to add text on a matter which is not in disagreement by
adding text in SECTION 1 of the bill, in added Section 455.006(a),
Transportation Code, to read as follows:
(a) The department, in consultation with the Department of
Public Safety and in conjunction with and with the elective
participation of the appropriate metropolitan rapid transit
authorities, county transportation authorities, municipal transit
departments, and regional transportation authorities and the
municipalities served by those mass transit entities, shall
establish and operate a motor-bus-only lane pilot program for
highways in Bexar, El Paso, Tarrant, and Travis Counties that are
part of the state highway system and have shoulders of sufficient
width and structural integrity.
Explanation: This change is necessary to clarify that a mass
transit entity is not required to participate in the establishment
and operation of the motor-bus-only lane pilot program.
