Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 3306 was a House-passed construction-contract proposal exempting certain electric-utility infrastructure agreements from Texas anti-indemnity restrictions. It did not become law.
What would change
The proposal would have added contracts or collateral agreements for electric infrastructure construction, maintenance or vegetation management involving electric utilities, transmission and distribution utilities, electric cooperatives or municipally owned utilities to a statutory exclusion from construction anti-indemnity rules.
Who may be affected
Electric utilities, cooperatives, municipally owned utilities, contractors, vegetation-management companies, construction firms, insurers and people involved in utility-infrastructure claims.
When it would take effect
HB 3306 did not take effect. It passed the House and was referred to Senate Business & Commerce, where it was left pending on May 13, 2025.
Limits and uncertainty
No new electric-infrastructure anti-indemnity exclusion was enacted through HB 3306. Existing Insurance Code contract restrictions remain controlling.
