SENATE SPONSOR: Harris |
House Bill 1831 amends the Transportation Code to provide for the issuance by the Texas Department of Transportation of "Texans Conquer Cancer" special license plates and to set a statutorily specified rather than administratively determined fee amount for YMCA special license plates. The bill amends the Health and Safety Code and Education Code to create general revenue accounts into which a portion of the Texans Conquer Cancer and YMCA license plate fees are to be channeled for related spending purposes. The bill requires the Texas Cancer Council to appoint an advisory committee to assist the council in setting guidelines for the expenditure of money in the Texans Conquer Cancer account. Other provisions authorize the department to enter into an interlocal contract with one or more local governments.
