Bill Caption

Relating to the Texas natural gas vehicle grant program.

Fiscal Notes

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to broaden qualifying vehicles for the Texas natural gas vehicle grant program to include used natural gas vehicles as defined in the bill. No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

HB 963 would expand the natural gas vehicle grant program to include used natural gas vehicles meeting certain eligibility requirements. Under current law, only new vehicles qualify for the program.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action opposes HB 963 which would further distort the free market by choosing winners and losers in the economy. Government should not use subsidies to influence peoples' purchasing decisions.
