Relating to required motor vehicle emissions inspections in certain border counties.

HB 2165 requires motor vehicle emissions inspections in Texas counties that border Mexico and contain designated "overweight corridors" (sections of highways allowing oversize vehicle permits). The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to mandate these inspections for counties meeting both criteria, directly affecting vehicle owners in those specific border counties. Key provisions define "overweight corridors" in the Transportation Code and require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to implement the program. The law would take effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
