|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Sections 502.402(a) and (e), Transportation |
|
|
Code, are amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(a) This section applies only to: |
|

|
|

|
|
States; |
|
|
(B) [(2)] that has a population of more than |
|
|
300,000; and |
|
|
(C) [(3)] in which the largest municipality has a |
|
|
population of less than 300,000; and |
|
|
(2) a county that has a population of more than 1.5 |
|
|
million that is coterminous with a regional mobility authority. |
|
|
(e) The additional fee shall be collected for a vehicle when |
|
|
other fees imposed under this chapter are collected. The fee |
|
|
revenue collected shall be sent to the regional mobility authority |
|
|
of the county to fund long-term transportation projects in the |
|
|
county that are consistent with the purposes specified by Section |
|
|
