Texas SB1533 amends the grant program for public improvement projects to apply to specific counties.

Texas SB1533 modifies 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, adjacent to at least three counties with populations of less than 10,000, and located 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 bill takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses; otherwise, it takes effect September 1, 2025.
