Relating to solicitation by pedestrians.

HB 3084 prohibits pedestrians from standing in roadways or roadway right-of-ways to solicit rides, contributions, employment, or business from vehicle occupants, with an exception for charitable solicitations authorized by local authorities. It repeals two existing Transportation Code sections (552.007(c) and 552.0071) that previously addressed similar restrictions. The law applies only to offenses occurring on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025, and does not affect past violations. This bill directly affects pedestrians seeking to solicit services or donations near roadways and clarifies permitted charitable solicitation under local authorization.
