| (d) Fees collected under Sections 382.202 and 382.302 may be | ||
| used, in an amount not to exceed $10 [ |
||
| for projects described by Subsection (b). The fees shall be made | ||
| available only to counties participating in the low-income vehicle | ||
| repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement | ||
| programs created under Section 382.209 and only on a matching | ||
| basis, whereby the commission provides money to a county in the same | ||
