SB 2081 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the eligibility of municipal solid waste personnel for the Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program.

SB 2081 expands Texas' Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program to include municipal solid waste personnel. The bill adds a specific definition for "municipal solid waste personnel" as permanent, full-time local government employees who collect, sort, process, or dispose of solid waste, recyclables, organics, or household hazardous waste. This change directly affects waste management workers in cities and counties who previously weren't covered under the program. The bill modifies eligibility criteria in the Government Code to include these workers alongside firefighters, police officers, educators, and veterans, while maintaining existing income requirements (115% of area median income).
