Relating to the allocation of money in the Texas Energy Fund.
This bill changes how Texas allocates funds from the Texas Energy Fund. It requires the commission to first provide grants under Section 34.0103 and grants/loans under Subchapter B before allocating more than $5 billion for other loan or grant programs under Sections 34.0104 or 34.0105. The change sets a priority order for fund distribution, ensuring certain existing programs receive funding first. It applies to the Texas Energy Fund's existing allocation mechanisms and does not create new programs.
