B. Industry/CAMPO/TXDOT Updates: Polasek stated that this is the time of year that staff starts
following and tracking legislation. To my knowledge there was nothing that would affect the
4B laws. In transportation there are several bills related to eminent domain. We will be
following this very closely to see where these bills may go. The second hot topic in legislation is
the pilotless aircrafts.
