Relating to the selection, prioritization, construction, and funding of transportation projects.

SB 35 amends the Texas Transportation Code to limit the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to no more than two design-build contracts per state fiscal biennium, down from a previous cap of six. This change directly affects TxDOT's ability to award these types of construction contracts for transportation projects. The bill specifies that TxDOT cannot enter into more than two such contracts in each two-year budget cycle. The legislation does not alter project selection, funding mechanisms, or broader transportation policies - only the numerical limit on contracts. It takes effect on September 1, 2025, unless approved for immediate effect by a two-thirds vote.
