The Senate Resolution S.R. No. 687, adopted by the Texas Senate during the 89th Legislature on May 31, 2025, seeks to suspend certain rules to facilitate the work of a conference committee addressing House Bill 3556. This bill pertains to the construction of structures exceeding a specified height in counties that contain national wildlife refuges and adjacent counties. The resolution allows the committee to amend the text of the bill to clarify that a height of 575 feet, rather than 500 feet, will trigger the requirement for a review by the Parks and Wildlife Department before construction begins.

Additionally, the resolution permits the committee to introduce new provisions not present in either the House or Senate versions of the bill. Specifically, it allows for the addition of a section that grants the Parks and Wildlife Commission the authority to adopt rules necessary for implementing the new regulations outlined in Section 12.023 of the Parks and Wildlife Code. This change aims to ensure effective governance and oversight regarding the construction of tall structures in sensitive ecological areas.
