HB 3368 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the repeal of wheelbase and horsepower restrictions for the state's passenger vehicle fleet.

HB 3368 repeals existing restrictions on the wheelbase (length between front and rear axles) and horsepower for Texas state government passenger vehicles. This bill directly affects state agencies that operate vehicle fleets, such as those used by state departments and offices. The key provision removes Section 2158.003 of the Government Code, allowing agencies to purchase or lease vehicles without adhering to the previous length and power limitations. If passed, the change would take effect on September 1, 2025, enabling state agencies greater flexibility in vehicle selection. The bill focuses solely on policy change, not outcomes or advocacy.
