The bill, H.B. No. 3, proposes supplemental appropriations totaling $324 million from the economic stabilization fund to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor for disaster relief and preparedness initiatives over a two-year period. Specifically, it allocates $200 million for matching federal disaster response funds and addressing state disaster needs, $50 million for local grants to assist various counties in implementing flood warning systems and related equipment, and $24 million for improving meteorological forecasting and flood management in the Texas Hill Country.

Additionally, the bill includes contingent appropriations of $50 million for the Texas Interoperability Council, which will be activated if related legislation (H.B. 2) is enacted. If that legislation fails, the funds will instead be directed to the comptroller for emergency radio infrastructure. The bill also stipulates that existing limitations, reporting, and transfer provisions from previous General Appropriations Acts will apply to these new appropriations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature.
