Summary: SB 1747 would authorize the Texas Department of Transportation to create a fund, and fees dedicated to that fund, for transportation infrastructure. The fees would be set for certain regions and reinvestment zones in order to target the increasing road usage of the oil and gas industry.
Analysis: Transportation infrastructure is an important issue for the Legislature to consider, however it should not be paid for by creating dedicated funds. We oppose SB 1747.
