H.B. No. 3345 proposes to amend the Transportation Code to allow certain counties in Texas to increase an optional county fee on vehicle registration. Specifically, the bill targets counties with a population of less than 700,000 or those described by a specific subsection, permitting them to raise the additional fee to a maximum of $20. This increase would require approval from a majority of qualified voters in the county through a referendum election, which the commissioners court can order.

The bill modifies Section 502.402(b-1) by removing the previous population threshold and adding the provision for counties described by a different subsection. The new legal language clarifies the conditions under which the fee increase can occur, emphasizing the need for voter approval. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
