relating to the relocation of a facility of a municipally owned | ||
utility required by the improvement of a turnpike or toll project of | ||
the Texas Department of Transportation. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter E, Chapter 203, Transportation Code, | ||
is amended by adding Section 203.096 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 203.096. RELOCATION OF MUNICIPALLY OWNED FACILITY. | ||
Notwithstanding Section 203.092 or any other law, a municipally | ||
owned utility, as defined by Section 11.003, Utilities Code, shall | ||
make a relocation of a utility facility at the expense of this state | ||
if the relocation is required by the improvement of a turnpike | ||
project or toll project. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a | ||
relocation of a utility facility for which a utility adjustment | ||
agreement is executed on or after the effective date of this Act. A | ||
relocation for which a utility adjustment agreement was executed | ||
before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in | ||
effect on the date the agreement was executed, and the former law is | ||
continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
