Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to creation of the gulf coast protection account to be administered by the General Land Office.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new Gulf Coast Protection Account within the general revenue fund, to be administered by the Texas General Land Office. The account will be funded through gifts, donations, grants, and legislative appropriations, and can only be used for specific coastal protection purposes. Specifically, the funds can be used to fulfill non-federal sponsor obligations for coastal protection projects as outlined in the Coastal Texas Protection and Restoration Feasibility Study from August 2021, comply with local cooperation agreements with the Gulf Coast Protection District, and support projects that protect the Gulf Coast region or are designated as Coastal Storm Risk Management Projects. The bill stipulates that expenditures from this account must serve a public purpose and will be subject to audit by the state auditor. The legislation will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the necessary immediate-effect votes.
