The bill, S.B. No. 1771, introduces a new requirement for aeronautics structures in Texas that exceed 500 feet in height. Specifically, it mandates that these structures must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. This addition is intended to ensure that tall aeronautics structures adhere to safety and regulatory standards set forth at the federal level.

The bill amends Subchapter B of Chapter 21 in the Transportation Code by adding Section 21.073, which outlines this compliance requirement. The legislation is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
