The bill, S.B. No. 2750, proposes amendments to the registration and inspection processes for vehicles in Texas, particularly focusing on Clean Air Act fees and emissions inspections. It reenacts and amends Section 382.0622(a) of the Health and Safety Code to clarify the components of Clean Air Act fees, removing references to specific amounts previously described in the Transportation Code. Additionally, it modifies Section 382.202(d-2) to establish a three-year emissions inspection period for certain vehicles, contingent upon approval from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and updates the fee structure associated with these inspections.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new vehicle registration period of 24 consecutive months for specific passenger cars and light trucks, as outlined in Section 502.044. It amends the fee structure in Section 548.510, reducing the annual inspection program replacement fee and establishing a one-time fee for initial registrations under certain conditions. The bill also repeals several sections of the Transportation Code that are deemed redundant or unnecessary. If passed, the bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if not.
