H.B. No. 3234 amends Section 245.007(a) of the Local Government Code to specify that the regulation of construction and renovation of structures applies only to buildings or facilities owned by counties with a population of one million or more, which are located within the boundaries of another political subdivision. This change narrows the scope of the law, previously applicable to counties with a population of 3.3 million or more, thereby allowing more counties to be subject to these regulations.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a timeline for the implementation of these regulatory changes. This adjustment aims to enhance the authority of political subdivisions in overseeing construction and renovation activities related to county-owned properties, potentially improving local governance and compliance with building standards.
