Summary of Legislation: This legislation creates a fund in the State Treasury outside of the GR. In addition to Appropriations: fees, gifts and grants will supplement this fund. Language regarding the TxDMV fund stipulates that funds can only be used for specified operations of TxDMV. Money typically collected by vehicle sales and leases for the State Highway fund (fund 6) will be deposited into this new account. The duties and fee collection operations of fund 6 will be transferred to TxDMV. This bill cleans language regarding the TxDMV and its powers and duties following acts of the 81st and 82nd legislature.
Analysis: This bill promotes transparency in government and ensures that collected fees and appropriated funds are used for the expressed intent. This bill clarifies language written by previous Legislatures (81st & 82nd) to guarantee proper cash flow and oversight over funds. This bill does not create any new fees but does streamline their collection. Support HB 2202.
