Senate Bill 3 appropriates $1,540,000,000 from the general revenue fund to the trusteed programs within the governor's office for the purpose of providing funding for border security operations and the construction, operation, and maintenance of border barrier infrastructure. The bill provides for a transfer of $40,000,000 of that amount to the Department of Public Safety for border security operations, including paying for additional overtime expenses and costs due to an increased law enforcement presence to preserve public safety and security in the Colony Ridge development in Liberty County. The bill sets out prohibitions on the use of the money appropriated by the bill.
