Relating to the financing of certain grocery stores by a public facility corporation.

SB 2084 amends Texas law to include grocery stores located in economically disadvantaged census tracts (as defined by Government Code Section 783.009(b)) within the definition of "public facility." This change allows public facility corporations to finance these grocery stores using sponsor obligations or bonds under Chapter 303 of the Local Government Code. The bill directly affects grocery stores operating in designated underserved census tracts, enabling new financing mechanisms to support their development or operation. The policy change takes effect September 1, 2025, but does not create new funding or alter existing eligibility requirements beyond the definition update.
