House Bill 3594 amends provisions of the Transportation Code relating to motor vehicle inspection facilities near the border of Texas and Mexico. The bill provides that if a facility that serves a bridge that had more than 900,000 commercial border crossings during the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2002, is to be located in a municipality or a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, the municipality, rather than the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), may choose the location of the facility. The bill requires the municipality to choose the location within a certain time frame and to take certain actions in determining the location. The bill requires TxDOT to provide for implementation of technology and information systems at such facilities in accordance with certain conditions and goals and to spend money appropriated by the legislature and received from the federal government to establish the motor vehicle inspection facilities.
