AN ACT
  relating to the amount of money authorized to be used for Clean Air
  Act local initiative projects related to vehicles.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 382.220(d), Health and Safety Code, is
  amended to read as follows:
         (d)  Fees collected under Sections 382.202 and 382.302 may be
  used[,] in an amount not to exceed $7 [$5] million per fiscal
  year[,] for projects described by Subsection (b), of which $2
  million may be used only for projects described by Subsection
  (b)(4).  The remaining $5 million may be used for any project
  described by Subsection (b).  The fees shall be made available only
  to counties participating in the low-income vehicle repair
  assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement programs
  created under Section 382.209 and only on a matching basis, whereby
  the commission provides money to a county in the same amount that
  the county dedicates to a project authorized by Subsection (b).  The
  commission may reduce the match requirement for a county that

  detection programs, including the use of remote sensing technology
  for coordinating with law enforcement officials to detect, prevent,
  and prosecute the use of counterfeit state inspection stickers.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
