House Bill No. 3883 amends the Government Code to include the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Endurance Championship international automobile race as an eligible event for funding under the major events reimbursement program in Texas. The bill specifically adds this event to the definition of "Event" in Section 478.0001(3), which outlines various prestigious events that qualify for funding. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation of the FIA World Endurance Championship race, ensuring it is recognized alongside other significant events such as the Super Bowl and the Academy of Country Music Awards.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for the FIA World Endurance Championship to be considered for financial support under the state's major events program, which aims to promote tourism and economic development through high-profile events. This inclusion reflects Texas's commitment to attracting international sporting events and enhancing its reputation as a premier destination for major competitions.
