H.B. No. 2065 amends the Transportation Code to redefine the term "residential subdivision" for the purpose of regulating the overnight parking of commercial motor vehicles. The bill specifies that a residential subdivision is defined as one located in a county with a population greater than 175,000, as opposed to the previous threshold of 220,000. This definition includes subdivisions where a plat is recorded in the county real property records and where the majority of lots are subject to deed restrictions that limit their use to residential purposes.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for the updated definition to be implemented in the regulation of overnight parking for commercial vehicles in residential areas. This change aims to address concerns related to the presence of commercial vehicles in neighborhoods while ensuring that the regulations are applicable to a broader range of populated areas.
