The bill amends Section 545.157(a) of the Transportation Code to clarify the types of vehicles to which certain passing regulations apply on highways. It retains the existing categories of vehicles, such as stationary authorized emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and Texas Department of Transportation vehicles, while adding new categories. Specifically, it includes vehicles operated by toll project entities and vehicles stopped on the shoulder or adjacent to the highway that are using hazard lamps.

Additionally, the bill removes the conjunction "and" from the list of vehicle types, indicating a shift in how these categories are presented. The changes aim to enhance road safety by ensuring that drivers are aware of the specific vehicles that require caution when passing. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
