A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the amount of money authorized to be used for Clean Air
  Act local initiative projects related to vehicles.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 382.220(d), Health and Safety Code, is
  amended to read as follows:
         (d)  Fees collected under Sections 382.202 and 382.302 may be
  used, in an amount not to exceed $10 [$5] million per fiscal year,
  for projects described by Subsection (b).  The fees shall be made
  available only to counties participating in the low-income vehicle
  repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement
  programs created under Section 382.209 and only on a matching
  basis, whereby the commission provides money to a county in the same
  amount that the county dedicates to a project authorized by
  Subsection (b).  The commission may reduce the match requirement
  for a county that proposes to develop and implement independent
  test facility fraud detection programs, including the use of remote
  sensing technology for coordinating with law enforcement officials
  to detect, prevent, and prosecute the use of counterfeit state
  inspection stickers.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
