Senate Bill No. 1926, introduced by Hinojosa of Nueces, amends Section 391.252(a) of the Transportation Code to regulate the erection of commercial signs along specific highways in Texas. The bill specifically updates the restrictions for U.S. Highway 77 by changing the reference from State Highway 44 to State Highway 285. This change is part of a broader list of highways where the erection of commercial signs is prohibited if they are adjacent to and visible from these roadways.
The bill aims to enhance the visual landscape and maintain the aesthetic quality of the highways mentioned. It is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period for compliance with the new regulations.
