The bill amends Section 256.103(b) of the Transportation Code to revise the allocation of grants distributed from the transportation infrastructure fund among counties. Key changes include a reduction in the percentage allocated based on oil and gas production taxes from 20% to 15%, and a decrease in the percentage for horizontal well completions from 45% to 40%. Additionally, the allocation for vertical well completions is reduced from 15% to 10%.

New provisions are introduced to allocate 10% of the grants based on regularly producing horizontal wells and 5% based on regularly producing vertical wells. These new allocations are determined by the ratio of regularly producing wells in adjacent counties to the total number of such wells in the state. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
