Relating to eligibility requirements to receive a grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund.

HB 1793 sets new job creation and investment requirements for businesses seeking grants from the Texas Enterprise Fund. It requires grant recipients to commit to specific job targets and minimum investments within the first year, based on the population size of the county where the grant is used. For example, in counties with over 750,000 residents, businesses must create at least 75 jobs and invest $200 million; in smaller counties, the thresholds are lower (e.g., 10 jobs and $20 million in counties under 100,000 residents). These requirements apply to all new grant agreements under Section 481.078 of the Government Code. The bill directly affects businesses applying for Texas Enterprise Fund grants by adding measurable performance conditions to eligibility.
