HB 3459 modifies the allocation of state traffic fine revenue received by the comptroller. The bill changes the distribution of these funds by adjusting the percentage allocated to the general revenue fund and the designated trauma facility and emergency medical services account. Under the new provisions, 50% of the collected revenue will be deposited into the undedicated portion of the general revenue fund, a decrease from the current 70%, while 50% will go to the trauma facility and emergency medical services account, an increase from the current 30%. Additionally, the bill maintains the existing cap of $250 million per fiscal year for deposits into the general revenue fund, with any excess funds beyond that amount being redirected to the Texas Mobility Fund​.
