H.B. No. 4950 introduces a new section, Section 21.073, to Subchapter B of Chapter 21 in the Transportation Code, which mandates compliance of certain aeronautics structures with federal law. The bill defines "aeronautics structure" as any structure whose construction or alteration requires notification to the Federal Aviation Administration under specific federal regulations. It stipulates that these structures must adhere to all applicable federal laws and regulations.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that prohibits individuals from filing a petition against the department based solely on being adversely affected by actions taken to enforce compliance with this new section. This aims to streamline the enforcement process and ensure adherence to federal standards without the hindrance of legal challenges based on individual grievances. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
