SB 1938 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the dedication of revenue received from certain oversize or overweight vehicle permits to the state highway fund.

SB 1938 redirects fees collected from oversize or overweight vehicle permits to specific funding streams. It requires that 50% of these fees be deposited into the state highway fund, while the remaining 50% is distributed to the counties named in each permit application. This bill modifies existing Transportation Code provisions (Sections 623.0171 and 623.324) to change how permit revenue is allocated. The policy directly affects commercial trucking companies paying these fees and local county governments receiving the redistributed funds.
