Relating to the composition and authority of certain subregional boards of regional transportation authorities.
HB 5049 amends Texas Transportation Code sections governing subregional boards of regional transportation authorities. It requires each municipality in a transportation authority area to appoint one board member (replacing previous multi-member allocations), establishes a rotating two-year presiding officer position with no consecutive terms, and creates staggered two-year terms for all members. The bill directly affects local municipalities that appoint board members to regional transportation authorities. Key changes include standardizing voting (one vote per municipality) and repealing outdated sections about board leadership.
