Relating to the authority of a municipality to restrict the use of toll roads by certain vehicles.
HB 5376, known as "Tiffany's Law," grants Texas municipalities new authority to restrict or ban specific vehicle types from using toll roads within city limits. The bill allows cities to adopt ordinances that prohibit certain vehicles (like trucks or commercial vehicles) from toll projects or restrict them to designated lanes on highways. Municipalities must still permit restricted vehicles to pass other cars or enter/exit the highway, as required by the law. This change directly affects local governments and drivers of the specified vehicle classes using toll roads in participating cities, taking effect September 1, 2025.
