Relating to the allocation of money appropriated to the Texas Military Preparedness Commission for the purpose of making certain grants.

HB 2718 requires the Texas Military Preparedness Commission to allocate at least 20% of annual grant funds to small counties and their local governments. Specifically, it mandates that this 20% must go to counties with populations under 50,000 and eligible local governmental entities located within those counties. The bill changes how grant money is distributed under Texas Government Code Chapter 436, ensuring smaller communities receive a dedicated share of funding. This policy takes effect on September 1, 2025.
