Relating to the suspension of toll collection while an evacuation order is in effect.

HB 2297 requires toll road operators in Texas to stop collecting tolls on any toll project located within an area under an active evacuation order issued under Texas Government Code Section 418.108. This policy directly affects toll project entities (like toll road operators) and travelers using those roads during emergencies. The bill creates a clear, automatic suspension: tolls cannot be charged for any toll road in the designated evacuation zone while the order is active. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies to all toll projects covered by evacuation orders.
