A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to pedestrian use of a sidewalk.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 552.006(b), Transportation Code, is
repealed.
SECTION 2. The repeal by this Act of Section 552.006(b),

in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an
offense was committed before the effective date of the repeal if any
element of the offense occurred before that date.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
