Relating to the distribution of funds designated for the low-income vehicle repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement program.

HB 1361 requires the Texas Commission to distribute all available funds collected before September 1, 2025, for a low-income vehicle program to participating counties by January 1, 2026. It applies only to counties that collected fees for the program and specifies funds must be distributed proportionally based on fees collected in each county or region. Counties receiving funds can only use them for programs authorized under existing law (Section 382.220(b)), which covers vehicle repair assistance, emissions retrofits, and retirement for low-income residents. The bill expires September 1, 2029, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
