Heritage Trails Program. Out of the amounts appropriated 
above, the Texas Department of Transportation shall make available 
$1.5 million from the federal Transportation Enhancement Program 
funds administered by the department for the Heritage Trails 
Program project whenever such projects are approved by the Texas 
Historical Commission's Heritage Trails Program and meet federal 
funding requirements of the Transportation Enhancement Program as 
defined by federal Department of Transportation, Federal Highway 
Administration federal regulations in Title 23 of the United States 
Code. The Texas Historical Commission in conjunction with the Texas 
Department of Transportation will review the Heritage Trails 
Program project to determine if the Heritage Trails Program meets 
the federal Transportation Enhancement Program guidelines in Title 
23 of the United States Code. It is the intent of the Legislature 
that funds appropriated above would cover the costs of 
administering the Heritage Trails Program approved for federal 
Transportation Enhancement Program funds.
	In addition, the Texas Department of Transportation may 
redirect obligated funds previously obligated for courthouse 
preservation under the Transportation Enhancement Program to other 
available projects should the Heritage Trails Program fail to 
receive federal approval or federal Transportation Enhancement 
Program funds are not available due to changes in federal laws, 
rules, regulations, or appropriations.
