H.B. No. 3080 proposes the addition of Subchapter G to Chapter 421 of the Government Code, focusing on the funding for roadways and transportation facilities that facilitate the monitoring of commercial motor vehicles in the border region. The bill defines key terms such as "border region," "local government," and "office," which refers to the trusteed programs within the office of the governor. It outlines that funds appropriated for this purpose will be made available to state agencies and local governments for the construction or improvement of relevant roadways and facilities. Additionally, the office is authorized to seek federal funds and accept gifts, grants, and donations to support these initiatives.

The bill also establishes reporting requirements for recipients of the funds, mandating them to submit reports on fund usage and related issues at intervals set by the office. It specifies that funds received under this program are considered border security funding for reporting purposes in the General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, it allows the office to allocate up to five percent of the appropriated general revenue for administrative costs associated with the implementation of this subchapter. The office of the governor is tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement these provisions promptly after the bill's effective date.
