Amend CSSB 855, in SECTION 1 of the bill, by striking Section 
446.056, Local Government Code (committee printing page 4, lines 
44-55), and substituting the following:
	Sec. 446.056.  IMPOSITION OF ANNUAL MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS 
FEE.  (a)  A county to which this chapter applies may, if approved 
in accordance with other provisions of this chapter, impose on the 
owner of a vehicle registered in the county an annual motor vehicle 
emissions fee in an amount not less than $1 or more than $15, 
assessed on each vehicle tested under the vehicle emissions 
inspection and maintenance program described by Section 382.202, 
Health and Safety Code.  A fee imposed under this section shall be 
collected:
		(1)  directly by the county through a program the 
county develops to bill and collect the fee; or
		(2)  by each emissions inspection station conducting 
emissions testing under Section 382.202, Health and Safety Code, 
which fee the inspection station shall remit to the county.
	(b)  An emissions inspection station may be required to 
collect the motor vehicle emissions fee under Subsection (a)(2) 
only if:
		(1)  the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, 
under its authority to adopt standards and specifications for motor 
vehicle emissions testing equipment under Section 382.205(b), 
Health and Safety Code, has adopted specifications necessary to 
enable collection of the emissions fee as part of the vehicle 
emissions inspection and maintenance program; or
		(2)  a county imposing an emissions fee under this 
chapter requires the emissions inspection station to assess and 
collect the fee separately from billing created by the motor 
vehicle emissions testing equipment.
	(c)  A county that implements an annual motor vehicle 
emissions fee under this chapter shall reimburse the Texas 
Commission on Environmental Quality for any expenses incurred by 
the commission that are related to the county emissions fee.
