Relating to a study by the Texas Department of Transportation on incorporating drainage infrastructure into the department's transportation planning process.

HB 4050 requires the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to study how to integrate drainage infrastructure into its transportation planning processes, including statewide plans and programs. The study must include input from municipalities, counties, drainage districts, and other stakeholders. TxDOT must submit a final report with recommendations to state leaders by January 1, 2027. This bill directly affects TxDOT's planning procedures and the entities consulted during the study. The legislation expires August 31, 2027, and does not create new laws but mandates a specific study.
