S.B. No. 2663 amends the Transportation Code to establish specific routes in Hidalgo County for the issuance of permits for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles. The bill introduces new definitions, including "aggregates," which refers to various construction materials sourced from quarries or pits. It also clarifies the term "authority" to refer to the regional mobility authority responsible for issuing permits under the amended section.
Additionally, the bill outlines designated routes for these vehicles, including U.S. Highway 281, State Highway 336, and several Farm-to-Market Roads. A significant insertion is the specification that permits for the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles on West Doffing Road will be restricted to the transportation of aggregates only. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
