H.R. No. 1491 is a resolution from the Texas House of Representatives that seeks to suspend certain rules to allow a conference committee to address specific amendments to House Bill 3556. This bill pertains to the construction of structures exceeding a certain height in counties with national wildlife refuges and adjacent counties. The resolution specifically allows the committee to amend the text regarding the height requirement for construction, changing it from 500 to 575 feet, which clarifies the threshold for when a review by the Parks and Wildlife Department is necessary.
Additionally, the resolution permits the committee to introduce new provisions not found in either the House or Senate versions of the bill. This includes adding a section that grants the Parks and Wildlife Commission the authority to adopt rules for implementing the new regulations outlined in Section 12.023 of the Parks and Wildlife Code. The resolution was adopted by the House on May 31, 2025, with a vote of 92 in favor and 15 against.
