HR 1491 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 3556.

This procedural resolution (HR 1491) allows a conference committee to adjust House Bill 3556, which regulates construction near wildlife refuges. It specifically permits changing a height limit from 500 to 575 feet for structures requiring Parks and Wildlife Department review, and adds authority for the Parks and Wildlife Commission to create implementing rules. The resolution enables these changes by temporarily suspending standard legislative rules governing conference committee work. It directly affects developers and landowners in counties with national wildlife refuges by clarifying construction requirements.
