Relating to the implementation of a veteran discount program for the use of certain toll projects.

SB 1256 creates a veteran discount program for electronic toll users on specific segments of State Highway 130 in Texas. It requires the Texas Department of Transportation to use existing toll revenue from Highway 130 (from U.S. Highway 183 to I-10, Segments 5 and 6) to fund free or discounted tolls for veterans. The discount applies only to electronic toll customers (e.g., TxTag users) on those designated highway segments, with priority given to these segments before potentially expanding to other parts of Highway 130 if funds remain. The program takes effect September 1, 2025.
