The Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act, put forward by Texas State Senator Donna Campbell, was passed by unanimous vote in the Texas Senate on Monday (April 26). If the bill passes in the state house and is signed into law by the governor, it will take effect on Sept. 1. The aim of the bill is to prevent ownership of Texas infrastructure projects by individuals or entities connected to Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Ownership attempts by other countries deemed a threat by the governor, in consultation with the Department of Public Safety, can also be denied.
