Texas HB1033 amends the grant program for public improvement projects to apply to specific counties.

Texas HB1033 amends the Local Government Code to narrow the applicability of a grant program for public improvement projects. The program now applies only to counties with a population of less than 3,000, those adjacent to at least three counties with populations under 10,000, and those on an international border. Additionally, it applies to counties on an international border with a partially located national park of less than 100,000 acres. The Act takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses; otherwise, it takes effect September 1, 2025.
