Prohibits state agencies from agreeing to use state park land for border security infrastructure without legislative approval, so less state involvement in border operations.
The department or the commission may not enter into an agreement authorizing the use of state park property for the construction, operation, or maintenance of border security infrastructure or related improvements unless expressly authorized by an act of the legislature.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition on using state park property for border security infrastructure (defined by cross-reference to Tax Code §11.38) without explicit legislative approval, which limits state/local government participation in border enforcement activities.
