The bill, S.B. No. 1655, amends Section 223.242(d-1) of the Transportation Code regarding design-build contracts. The key change is that the Texas Department of Transportation is now limited to entering into a maximum of two contracts under this section in each state fiscal biennium, a reduction from the previous limit of six contracts.

The bill is set to take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
