H.B. No. 2560 establishes the Adopt-a-County Road program, allowing county commissioners to enter into partnership agreements with individuals or organizations. Under this program, participants can make donations, gifts, or grants to fund the repair and maintenance of specific sections of county roads. In return, the county is required to install signs to publicly acknowledge the contributions made by the donors. The bill also mandates that the commissioners court determine the minimum amount of funding necessary for recognition and stipulates that any funds received through these agreements must be exclusively used for the designated road maintenance.
The bill adds a new section, 256.011, to Subchapter A of Chapter 256 in the Transportation Code, detailing the framework for these partnerships. It specifies that the funds can only be utilized for the repair and maintenance of the road specified in the agreement, aligning with existing provisions in Section 256.003. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
