Relating to the eligibility of municipal solid waste personnel for the Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program.
HB 3608 expands eligibility for the Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program to include municipal solid waste personnel. The bill defines these workers as permanent, full-time local government employees who collect, sort, process, or dispose of solid waste, recyclables, organics, or household hazardous waste. This change adds them to the existing list of eligible groups - such as firefighters, police officers, educators, and veterans - without altering income requirements or other program conditions. The policy directly affects municipal solid waste workers seeking low-interest home loans in Texas.
