Relating to a prohibition on certain roadway projects and to the distribution of affordable housing funds to local governmental entities that violate that prohibition.

This bill prohibits local governments in Texas from reallocating existing roadway space (such as converting lanes to bike lanes, sidewalks, or parking) without specific approval. It requires municipalities to hold public hearings, obtain commission approval, and secure two-thirds voter approval before implementing such projects. Local entities must also include department contact information in project communications for public complaints, and the Texas Department of Transportation must investigate alleged violations. If a project violates the prohibition, the commission may notify the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The bill directly affects cities and counties managing local roadways.
