H.B. No. 3234 amends Section 245.007(a) of the Local Government Code to specify that the regulation of construction and renovation of buildings or facilities applies only to those owned by counties with a population of one million or more and located within the boundaries of another political subdivision. This change narrows the scope of the law to focus on larger counties, thereby potentially reducing the regulatory burden on smaller counties. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate in May 2025. The House approved the bill with a vote of 95 in favor and 28 against, while the Senate passed it unanimously with a vote of 31 to 0.
