The bill, H.B. No. 5, proposes supplemental appropriations totaling $324 million from the economic stabilization fund to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor for disaster relief efforts over a two-year period. Specifically, it allocates $200 million for matching federal disaster response funds, $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 provisions for contingent appropriations related to emergency communications. If H.B. 3 or similar legislation is enacted, $50 million will be allocated to the Texas Interoperability Council for emergency communication infrastructure. If such legislation fails, the same amount will be redirected to the comptroller for the emergency radio infrastructure account and subsequently to the Trusteed Programs for the governor's interoperable radio communications program. The bill also stipulates that existing limitations, reporting, and transfer provisions from previous General Appropriations Acts will apply to these appropriations.
