The bill, S.B. No. 1771, introduces a new requirement for aeronautics structures in Texas that exceed 500 feet in height. Specifically, it adds Section 21.073 to Subchapter B of Chapter 21 in the Transportation Code, mandating that these structures must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. This addition aims to ensure that tall aeronautics structures adhere to federal safety and regulatory standards.

The bill is set to take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this level of support, the bill will become effective on September 1, 2025.
