Re: County payment to vendors under the Low-Income Vehicle Repair Assistance, Retrofit, and Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Program, and reimbursement to a county from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Request for Opinion: RQ-0646-GA Summary: Chapter 382 of the Health and Safety Code authorizes establishment of a Low-Income Vehicle Repair Assistance, Retrofit, and Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Program ("LIRAP") and directs the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "TCEQ") to distribute available funds to participating counties to administer the program. Section 382.210(d) provides that a participating county "shall ensure that funds are transferred to a participating dealer . . . not later than five business days after the date the county receives" the required dealer documentation. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 382.210(d) (Vernon Supp. 2007). But a participating county is not authorized to disburse funds to participating dealers under the LIRAP before such expenditures have been reviewed and approved by the county's auditor, commissioners court, and treasurer as required by Texas law. And the TCEQ is not prohibited from distributing available funds to a participating county when the required reviews and approvals by the county commissioner, county auditor, and county treasurer make county payments to LIRAP dealers within five days impractical.

Re: Authority of a Type A general-law city to permit employee payroll deduction as part of a collective bargaining agreement
Request for Opinion: RQ-0647-GA Summary: The issue of payroll deduction of association dues is a mandatory subject of bargaining under the Fire and Police Employee Relations Act ("FPERA"), codified at chapter 174, Local Government Code. Thus, we conclude that a general-law municipality with a population of 10,000 or fewer and a duty to bargain collectively under section 174.105 of the FPERA has implied authority to provide payroll deductions for association dues.
