SCR 48 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Urging the Gulf Coast Protection District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to not compromise navigation safety or two-way traffic vessel movement when implementing a project.

This is a non-binding Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 48), not a bill with legal force. It formally urges the Gulf Coast Protection District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain navigation safety and two-way vessel traffic during projects authorized under Texas law (Section 9502.0301(a)). The resolution specifically references projects managed by the Gulf Coast Protection District in Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Jefferson, and Orange Counties. It has no legal effect but serves as a formal expression of legislative concern for coastal navigation.
