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 now defined as one located in a county with a population greater than 175,000, as opposed to the previous threshold of 220,000. This change aims to broaden the scope of areas where restrictions on overnight parking can be applied, thereby addressing concerns related to commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods.

The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for local governments and residents to prepare for the new regulations. By lowering the population threshold, the legislation seeks to enhance the quality of life in more densely populated areas by limiting the presence of commercial vehicles in residential zones.
