Effective: Vetoed |

House Bill 2774 amends the Transportation Code to create the misdemeanor offense of installation of unsafe tires.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "House Bill 2774 would have created a new crime for installation of faulty tires on vehicles. Texas does not need to impose new criminal penalties on people who put tires on cars. For the past two sessions, the legislature has passed several laws aimed at limiting the reach of criminal penalties and reducing the burden of criminal records. This bill goes in the opposite direction. Nobody wants bad tires on the road, but creating a new crime is not the answer to every problem."
