H.B. No. 630 amends Section 31.055 of the Parks and Wildlife Code to clarify exceptions to the subchapter regarding certificates of title for certain outboard motors. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies two exceptions: first, vessels that possess a valid marine document issued by the United States Coast Guard's National Vessel Documentation Center or a successor federal agency; and second, outboard motors that are at least 40 years old and have a capacity of no more than 25 horsepower.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate with significant support. The House approved the bill with a vote of 128 in favor and 3 against, while the Senate passed it unanimously with a vote of 31-0.
