Public Hearing: Proposed Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision and 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 114 Rulemaking

On May 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., the commission will hold a virtual public hearing for the proposed Vehicle I/M SIP Revision (Non-Rule Project No. 2026-004-SIP-NR) and the proposed 30 TAC Chapter 114 rulemaking (Rule Project No. 2026-003-114-AI). The proposed SIP and rule revisions would implement Senate Bill (SB) 1729, which further amends Texas Health and Safety Code (THSC), 382.202 by consolidating amendments made by SB 2102. The rental vehicle provisions were added to THSC, 382.202(d-2)(1) and (2) with SB 2102 amendments and relocated to THSC, 382.202(d-2) with SB 1729 amendments but were otherwise unaffected.

The hearing will be conducted remotely using an internet meeting service. Persons who wish to attend and/or make spoken comments at the hearing must register by May 7, 2026. To register for the hearing, please email SIPRules@tceq.texas.gov and provide the following information: your name, the name of the group you represent or that you represent yourself, your email address, and whether or not you plan to provide spoken comments during the hearing.

An informal question and answer period will begin at 1:30 p.m. with the hearing opening at 2:00 p.m. The hearing will be conducted in English, and Spanish language interpretation services will be available.
