Does anyone else find it strange that the basis of this bill is that
motorized use of the riverbeds is not environmentally healthy yet the only people limited by this bill are the historical, recreational
users. The adjacent landowners (who do not own the flood plain or river bottom by Texas law) and commercial users are allowed to continue doing whatever they have been doing - as they damn well please.

Basically the only thing that changes is that the general public can be excluded by this bill.

That makes this a public access issue not an environmental issue.
