Relating to the creation of a small non-road engine purchase incentive program under the Texas emissions reduction plan.
SB 727 creates a new "small non-road engine purchase incentive program" under Texas's emissions reduction plan. This program would provide grants to help businesses and organizations purchase cleaner small non-road engines (like construction equipment, generators, or port machinery) to reduce pollution. It adds this initiative as a specific funding category under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's existing emissions reduction programs. The bill directly affects owners of such equipment in areas with air quality issues, aiming to lower emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
