Relating to the distribution of funds designated for the low-income vehicle repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement program.

SB 861 requires the state to distribute leftover funds collected before September 1, 2025, for Texas' low-income vehicle repair, retrofit, and retirement program to participating counties. It applies only to counties that collected fees for this program and remitted them to the state. Funds must be distributed proportionally based on each county's fee collections by January 1, 2026, and counties can only use the money for the specific program authorized under existing law. The bill expires September 1, 2029, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
