No. 4950, proposes an amendment to the Transportation Code of Texas by adding a new section, 21.073, which mandates that any aeronautics structure exceeding 200 feet in height must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. This addition aims to ensure that large aeronautics structures adhere to federal safety and operational standards, thereby enhancing safety and regulatory compliance in the state.
The bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If the necessary vote is not achieved, the bill will become effective on September 1, 2025.
