Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1481 amends the Health and Safety Code to require fees collected under Titles IV and V of the federal Clean Air Act to be deposited in a separate operating fees account in the state treasury and appropriated to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality only to cover the costs of developing and administering the federal permit programs under Titles IV and V. The bill exempts the funds from the law governing the use of dedicated revenue and requires unexpended balances to be left in the account.
