Relating to requirements for loans or grants provided by the Texas Transportation Commission to aviation facilities located in economically disadvantaged counties.

SB 2226 requires the Texas Transportation Commission to impose new conditions on loans or grants for aviation facilities in economically disadvantaged counties. It mandates that local governments maintain control of these facilities for at least 20 years, disclose all project funding sources, and secure at least 5% of the project cost from non-state sources (compared to 10% for other areas). The bill also requires adequate project planning and defines "economically disadvantaged counties" using existing state criteria. This law takes effect September 1, 2025.
