IN RE: | HB3191 by Uresti (Relating to the issuance of special license plates benefiting Los Compadres de San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT ) to issue specially designed San Antonio Missions National Historical Park license plates for passenger cars and light trucks. The bill would require the plates to be designed by TxDOT in consultation with Los Compadres de San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The bill would also require applicants to submit a $30 annual fee in addition to other registration fees; that $8 of this fee be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund; and $22 to be deposited to a newly created General Revenue dedicated account to be used by the Texas Historical Commission in making grants to Los Compadres de San Antonio Missions National Historical Park for the purpose of the preservation and rehabilitation of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The bill would require lost, stolen or mutilated license plates to be replaced for a fee and owners disposing of a vehicle during the registration year to return the plates to TxDOT.
No significant fiscal implication is anticipated due to the estimated number of license plate issuances.
Because the legislation would create dedicated revenue accounts in the General Revenue Fund, the accounts included in this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current legislature.
