Texas SB1938 changes how fees from oversize or overweight vehicle permits are allocated, dedicating half to the state highway fund and the other half.

Texas SB1938 amends the Transportation Code to modify the allocation of fees from oversize or overweight vehicle permits. Under this bill, 50 percent of the fees collected for these permits will be deposited into the state highway fund, while the remaining 50 percent will be divided among the counties specified in the permit applications. This change in allocation takes effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses, otherwise it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
