Relating to compliance of certain aeronautics structures with federal law.

SB 1771 requires all aeronautics structures in Texas taller than 500 feet (such as communication towers) to comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. This directly affects owners and operators of such tall structures, including telecommunications and broadcast facilities. The bill adds a new requirement to the Texas Transportation Code, mandating that these structures meet federal safety and operational standards. It takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote or on September 1, 2025, if not.
