HB 234 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the suspension of toll collection while an evacuation order is in effect.

HB 234 requires toll project operators in Texas to stop collecting tolls on designated toll roads when an evacuation order under Section 418.108 of the Government Code is active for that area. This applies directly to toll road operators and drivers traveling through evacuation zones during emergencies. The bill mandates automatic toll suspension during the entire duration of an active evacuation order, ensuring no tolls are charged for use of affected toll projects. It does not change existing evacuation protocols but removes financial barriers for those leaving hazardous areas.
