relating to the eligibility for grants for alternative fueling | ||
facilities. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 393.004(b), Health and Safety Code, is | ||
amended to read as follows: | ||
(b) Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, the | ||
[ |
||
must provide that, for each grant round, the commission may not | ||
award a grant to an entity that does not agree to make the | ||
alternative fueling facility accessible and available to the public | ||
at times designated by the grant contract until each eligible | ||
entity that does agree to those terms has been awarded a grant. The | ||
prohibition imposed by this subsection does not apply to a facility | ||
that is: | ||
(1) owned or operated by a transit authority governed | ||
by Chapter 451 or 452, Transportation Code; | ||
(2) located in a county that has a population of more | ||
than one million; and | ||
(3) located in a nonattainment area or an affected | ||
county, as those terms are defined by Section 386.001. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
to a grant round that begins on or after the effective date of this | ||
Act. A grant round that began before the effective date of this Act | ||
is governed by the law in effect on the date the grant round began, | ||
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
