By: Wentworth S.R. No. 1252
SENATE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 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:
Senate Rule 12.03(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.
