Texas Health and Safety Code and Texas Water Code Settlement Notice
The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Health and Safety Code, Texas Water Code, and Texas Administrative Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the law.
Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas, and the State of Texas, a Necessary and Indispensable Party v. Texcon Ready Mix, Inc., US Readymix Inc., and Texas Concrete Enterprise, LLC; Cause No. 2024-01367, in the 11th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
Background: Defendant Texcon Ready Mix, Inc. ("Texcon Ready Mix") operates a concrete batch plant located at 3315 Carr Street, Houston, Texas 77026 (the "Facility"). The Facility operates under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") air and water permits. Over the course of multiple investigations conducted from October 6, 2020, to July 18, 2023, Harris County Pollution Control Services documented permit violations at the Facility. Texcon Ready Mix was the TCEQ air permit holder until May 19, 2024, when the permit was transferred to US Readymix, Inc. The permit was then transferred to Texas Concrete Enterprise, LLC on June 9, 2024. On January 9, 2024, Harris County, Texas filed suit against Texcon Ready Mix for violations of the Texas Health and Safety Code, Texas Water Code, TCEQ rules, and TCEQ permits. The State of Texas, acting on behalf of the TCEQ, joined the lawsuit as a necessary and indispensable party. On December 10, 2024, Harris County named US Readymix, Inc. and Texas Concrete Enterprise, LLC as additional defendants in the lawsuit. The State, Harris County, and Texcon Ready Mix have reached an agreement to resolve the pending claims against the Texcon Ready Mix.
Proposed Settlement: The State, Harris County, and Texcon Ready Mix propose an Agreed Judgment that awards the State and Harris County the following monetary judgments against Texcon Ready Mix: $300,000.00 in civil penalties, to be divided equally between the State and Harris County; $25,000.00 in attorney's fees to the State; $25,000.00 in attorney's fees to Harris County; and $374.00 in court costs to Harris County. In addition to the initial civil penalties, Texcon Ready Mix shall be liable for an additional $100,000.00 in civil penalties, to be divided equally between the State and Harris County, if still operating the Facility and found to be in violation of their Standard Permit within two years of the Effective Date of this Agreed Judgment.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the proposed judgment and settlement, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Shelby Thompson, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Texas Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911, email: Shelby.Thompson@oag.texas.gov.

Texas Education Agency
Correction of Error
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopted an amendment to 19 TAC §97.1001, concerning the accountability rating system, in the March 20, 2026 issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 1854).
Due to an error by TEA, incorrect page number references were included in some of the descriptions of changes made at adoption and responses to public comment. The affected text should have read as follows.
Descriptions of changes made at adoption
Chapter 7 describes the pairing process and the alternative education accountability (AEA) provisions. Language was added to clarify that paired data from the Closing the Gaps domain are used for School Improvement identification. The phrase "charter school campuses" was removed and replaced with "all" at adoption on page 85 to clarify AEA pairing rules. Language was added at adoption on page 87 to specify that adult charter high schools authorized under TEC, Chapter 12, Subchapter G, are rated using the performance framework adopted specifically for these schools. A correction was made at adoption on page 89, updating "Closing the Gaps School Progress Domain" to "School Progress Domain."
Chapter 8 describes the process for appealing ratings. Language was added to clarify that campuses cannot appeal identification for comprehensive, targeted, or additional targeted support interventions, but a granted Closing the Gaps appeal can update identification. Additionally, new language for Local Accountability System (LAS) appeals was introduced, effective in 2027, along with clarifications on general considerations and the appeals submission process. Based on public comment, clarification was added at adoption on page 95 to specify acceptable formats for superintendent signatures and the minimum requirements for letterhead.
Chapter 9 describes the responsibilities of TEA, the responsibilities of school districts and open-enrollment charter schools, and the consequences to school districts and open-enrollment charter schools related to accountability and interventions. Language was added to move the campus number request deadline from September 1 to May 31 in alignment with anticipated changes to 19 TAC §97.1066. Language was added at adoption on page 102 to address the responsibilities and consequences for adult charter high schools in TEC, §12.262. Language was also added at adoption on pages 102-103 to clarify campus closure requirements and county-district-campus number (CDCN) reassignment, aligning with anticipated changes to §97.1066.
Chapter 12 describes the RDA system. HB 6, 89th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2025 changes were implemented, including the removal of performance level (PL) assignments for discipline indicators and the exclusion of those indicators from determination-level calculations. The federally required significant disproportionality risk ratio threshold has been adjusted from 2.5 to 3.0. Additionally, indicator names were fully updated in accordance with the requirements of the prior 2026 chapter, including revised terminology to "Alternative Methods." Based on public comment, language was added at adoption on page 114 to provide for inclusion of PLs for special education discipline as report only measures. Clarifying edits were made at adoption on pages 115 and 131 to ensure consistent use of the terms "bilingual education" and "bilingual program."
Responses to public comment
Comment: TXCSA and TSA requested that the proposed statement describing the English II growth calculations be revised to specify whether a student's growth should be determined using the prior year's Grade 8 STAAR® assessment to English I end-of-course (EOC) assessment and/or the current year English I to English II EOC assessment in cases when a student takes English I and II during the same school year.
Response: The agency agrees and has made a clarifying edit in Chapter 3 on page 30 to specify that when a student completes English I and English II within the same year, only the English I to English II growth measure will be used to measure academic growth, not a prior year STAAR® assessment.
Comment: TXCSA and TSA requested clarification regarding acceptable forms of superintendent signatures and minimum requirements for letterhead.
Response: The agency agrees that clarification is needed and has made an edit in Chapter 8 on page 95 to indicate that a digital signature can be accepted on official district or charter school letterhead.
Comment: TXCSA, TSA, and Disability Rights Texas recommended continuing to report PLs for special education discipline as report-only measures.
Response: The agency agrees and has added a clarifying edit in Chapter 12 on page 115 to provide for inclusion of PLs for special education discipline as report-only measures.

Correction of Error
In the March 13, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 1699), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) adopted amendments to 30 Texas Administrative Code §116.605.
Due to a publication error by TCEQ, in the public comment section, there was a typo in COMMENT 1 when referencing a public comment quote on page 1701. The error is as submitted by the commission.
The full quote should read:
"Senator Alvarado commented that "[U]nder prior agency rules, TCEQ possessed broad discretion to require a permit holder seeking a construction extension to update their permit based on the best available control technology and the lowest achievable emission rate. However, that discretion stemmed solely from agency rules, not statute, and was rarely exercised. Senate Bill (SB) 2351 codifies this authority in state law and provides clear legislative direction by authorizing TCEQ to require a permit holder requesting an extension to comply with the most recent version or amendment of the standard air permit. With this discretionary authority, I urge TCEQ to amend the proposed rules to state that the TCEQ must require facilities to meet new permit conditions if there are delays in construction.
Specifically, proposed rule 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §116.605(f) should read as follows:
(f) When standard permits issued under THSC, §382.05195 and §382.05198 are amended, the commission shall require each facility operator authorized to begin new construction of permanent concrete batch plants that perform wet batching, dry batching or central mixing under the former standard permit to update the facility's plan for the new construction in accordance with the amended standard permit if the facility operator:
Requiring each facility to operate under updated standard permit requirements after a delay in construction is fully compliant with the legislature's intent as passed in SB 2351."

Notice of a Public Meeting and a Proposed Renewal with Amendment of General Permit TXG110000 Authorizing the Discharge of Wastewater
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is proposing to renew and amend Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit TXG110000. This general permit authorizes discharges of facility wastewater and stormwater associated with industrial activities into or adjacent to water in the state from ready-mixed concrete plants, concrete products plants, and their associated facilities (Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes 3271, 3272, and 3273). The draft general permit applies to the entire state of Texas. General permits are authorized by Texas Water Code, §26.040.
Draft General Permit. The executive director has prepared a draft general permit renewal with amendments of an existing general permit that authorizes discharges of facility wastewater and stormwater associated with industrial activities from ready-mixed concrete plants, concrete products plants, and their associated facilities into or adjacent to waters of the United States. No significant degradation of high quality waters is expected and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The executive director proposes to require regulated entities to submit a Notice of Intent to obtain authorization to discharge under the general permit.
The executive director has reviewed this action for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) according to General Land Office regulations and has determined that the action is consistent with applicable CMP goals and policies.
On the date that this notice is published, a copy of the draft general permit and fact sheet will be available for a minimum of 30 days for viewing and copying at the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk located at the TCEQ Austin office, at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building F. These documents will also be available at the TCEQ's 16 regional offices and on the TCEQ website at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/general/index.html.
Public Comment and Public Meeting. You may submit public comments on this proposed general permit in writing or orally at the public meeting to be held by the TCEQ. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit written or oral comment or to ask questions about the draft general permit. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.
The hybrid in-person and virtual public meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m., April 27, 2026 in TCEQ's complex at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building E, Room 201S, Austin, Texas 78753.
Information for registering and attending the public meeting virtually is available at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/general/index.html.
Written public comments must be received by the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or electronically at https://www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/eComment/ within 30 days from the date this notice is published.

Approval Process. After the comment period, the executive director will consider all the public comments and prepare a written response. The response will be filed with the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at least 10 days before the scheduled commission meeting when the commission will consider approval of the general permit. The commission will consider all public comments in making its decision and will either adopt the executive director's response or prepare its own response. The commission will issue its written response on the general permit at the same time the commission issues or denies the general permit. A copy of any issued general permit and response to comments will be made available to the public for inspection at the agency's Austin office. A notice of the commissioners' action on the draft general permit and information on how to access the response to comments will be mailed to each person who submitted a comment. Also, a notice of the commission's action on the draft general permit and the text of its response to comments will be published in the Texas Register.
Mailing Lists. In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices mailed by the TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk. You may request to be added to: 1) the mailing list for this specific general permit; 2) the permanent mailing list for a specific county; or 3) both.

Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016494001
APPLICATION. Sigman Grafted LLC, 1659 West Highway 46, Suite 115, Box 525, New Braunfels, Texas 78132, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for proposed Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016494001 to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a volume not to exceed 500,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on February 28, 2024.
The facility will be located approximately 0.49 miles northeast of the intersection of San Marcos Highway and West Ridge Road, in Caldwell County, Texas 78655. The treated effluent will be discharged to Morrison Creek, thence to Lower San Marcos River in Segment No. 1808 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for Morrison Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1808 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. This review has preliminarily determined that no water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses are present within the stream reach assessed; therefore, no Tier 2 degradation determination is required. No significant degradation of water quality is expected in water bodies with exceptional, high, or intermediate aquatic life uses downstream, and existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-97.81128,29.835431&level=18
The TCEQ Executive Director has reviewed this action for consistency with the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) goals and policies in accordance with the regulations of the Texas General Land Office and has determined that the action is consistent with the applicable CMP goals and policies.
The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program
On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of March 2, 2026 to March 13, 2026. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, March 20, 2026. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
Federal License and Permit Activities:
Applicant: Port of Houston
Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Bayport Ship Channel and the Galveston Bay. The project site is located within the Galveston Bay, immediately adjacent to the existing Bayport Terminal, 3.6 miles north of Seabrook, in Harris County Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.611098 and Longitude -94.991033
Project Description: The overall project purpose is to modify the existing Bayport cruise terminal wharf into a container terminal wharf while conducting necessary dredging to achieve navigation safety and increased efficiency for current and larger container volumes. The applicant proposes to modify the existing authorization (SWG-1998-01818) to develop a container terminal wharf. A 77.3-acre area would be dredged to accommodate this request, of which 72.8 acres has been previously authorized. More specifically, the applicant requests authorization to construct the container wharf within the footprint of the existing cruise terminal wharf and modify the previously authorized turning basin to accommodate container vessels. The project proposes accomplishing the following items:
Modify the existing cruise terminal wharf by demolishing it, excavating the uplands, flooding the site, then dredging to construct an open wharf structure that will be 1,660-foot x 119.5-foot (4.6 acres).
Dredge 3.5 million cubic yards (MCY) from 77.3 acres to a depth of -50.5 foot. Dredging will be performed in three phases, where phase 1 and 2 would be implemented from 2028-2029, and phase 3 from 2032-2033.
Installation of a 12.8-acre (0.5 MCY) breakwater along the southern terminus of the expanded basin to improve operational safety under challenging weather conditions.
Placement of 3.5 MCY (total) in existing Placement Areas 14 and/or 15 (3.0 MCY) and for construction of the wave attenuation breakwater (0.5 MCY).
Potential oyster mitigation (Oyster survey in progress week of 2/9/2026).
Removal of abandoned utilities.
Removal of Mitigation Condition 23 from the most recent Corps permit authorization to allow pile driving for future wharf Construction. Mitigation Condition 23 specifically states "The great loads that must be supported by the wharf at the container terminal require a substantial foundation. The usual construction technique involves pile-driven supports. In order to eliminate this long-term noise source, the applicant will use drilled shafts for the container facility as an alternative".
Extension of bed leveling to incorporate the proposed modifications.
Overall permit expiration date extension to accommodate previously authorized work (that has yet to be implemented).
The applicant offered the following compensatory mitigation plan to offset unavoidable functional loss to the aquatic environment: Proposed 23 acres of oyster permittee responsible mitigation pending the ongoing oyster survey results. Impacts to open-water Galveston Bay are not being proposed for compensatory mitigation.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-1998-01818. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
CMP Project No: 26-1097-F1
Further information on the applications listed above, including a copy of the consistency certifications or consistency determinations for inspection, may be obtained from the Texas General Land Office Public Information Officer at 1700 N. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, or via email at pialegal@glo.texas.gov.

Program Category
To be eligible for consideration for funding, a law enforcement taskforce grant application must be designed to support one or more of the following MVCPA program categories (43 TAC §57.14):
Law Enforcement, Detection, and Apprehension - provide financial assistance to support law enforcement agencies for economic motor vehicle theft, including, but not limited to, theft of a catalytic converter attached to a motor vehicle, and fraud-related motor vehicle crime enforcement teams (referred to as taskforces). Taskforces will develop organized methods to combat economic motor vehicle theft, including, but not limited to, theft of a catalytic converter attached to a motor vehicle, burglary of a motor vehicle and fraud-related motor vehicle crime through the enforcement of law. This may include recovery of vehicles, clearance of cases, arrest of law violators, and disruption of organized motor vehicle crime. This category includes the development of uniform programs to prevent stolen motor vehicles and stolen catalytic converters from entering Mexico or being removed from Texas through outbound seaports.
Prosecution/Adjudication/Conviction - provide financial support for taskforces to work with prosecutors and the judiciary to implement programs designed to reduce the incidence of catalytic converter theft.
Prevention, Anti-Theft Devices and Automobile Registration - provide financial support for taskforces to work with organizations and communities to reduce the incidence of catalytic converter theft. The application shall demonstrate how financial support will assist motor vehicle owners to reduce catalytic converter theft.
Reduction of the Sale of Stolen Vehicles or Parts - provide financial support for taskforces to work with businesses, organizations, and communities to reduce the sale of catalytic converters. Applicants will develop organized methods to combat the sale of stolen catalytic converters using any of the following: vehicle identification number (VIN) inspections; inspections of motor vehicle part and component distribution enterprises; parts labeling and etching methods; and means to detect the fraudulent sale of stolen catalytic converters.
Educational Programs and Marketing - provide financial support for taskforces to work with individuals, businesses, organizations, and communities to assist motor vehicle owners in detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft. Develop and provide specialized training or education program(s) to the public on detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft, law enforcement on interdiction and prosecution, and government officials on detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft in this state.
Priority Funding
The MVCPA enabling statute provides that "The authority shall allocate grant funds primarily based on the number of motor vehicles stolen in, or the motor vehicle burglary or theft rate across, and the number of fraud-related motor vehicle crimes committed in the state rather than based on geographic distribution." (Tex. Transp. Code §1006.151(c); SB 224). In addition, the following grant features will be given priority consideration in evaluating new grant applications:
Continuing Funded Programs in Compliance with MVCPA Grant Conditions - Applications that provide for the continuation of existing programs that currently meet the program and fiscal reporting conditions of the MVCPA grant program. Applicants must provide the ongoing need and their progress and impactful performance toward detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft.
The applicant must describe the experience and qualifications of investigators used in the program and how utilization of grant inventory and resources for continued operation of these specialized investigative grant programs are useful for state and local governments.
Programs to Combat Organized Catalytic Converter Crime - Applications for detecting and preventing catalytic converter theft enforcement teams that introduce, increase, or expand efforts to detect and prevent theft of catalytic converters by organized crime.
Border and Port Security - Applications that provide specific initiatives to identify and prevent stolen catalytic converters from crossing the border with Mexico using automatic license plate readers, training of local state and federal personnel in the identification of stolen vehicles, and bridge and port inspections.
Use of Technology - Applications that incorporate automatic license plate reader programs, surveillance equipment, and other uses of technology to increase the number of stolen catalytic converters recovered and the number of persons arrested for catalytic converter crimes.
Theft of Parts from a Motor Vehicle - Applications that incorporate a reasonable, objective plan to combat and prevent the theft of catalytic converters.
Dedicated Prosecutors - Applications that incorporate a dedicated prosecutor to increase the priority of catalytic converter theft prosecutions and decrease the number of repeat offenders through successful and timely prosecution efforts.
Supporting Documents
Documents that provide evidence of local support or commitment from other officials or agencies for the application may be submitted following the same instructions as the Resolution. Interagency agreements shall be submitted prior to payments being authorized if an award is made. MVCPA recommends that interagency agreements be completed after award determinations are made to ensure correct amounts are reflected in those agreements. All interagency agreements must meet the conditions and elements required in the TxGMS.
Supplanting Prohibited
Grant funds provided by the Authority under this RFA shall not be used to supplant federal, state or local funds that otherwise would be available for the same purposes (43 Texas Administrative Code §57.9). Supplanting means the replacement of other funds with MVCPA grant funds. This shall include using existing resources already available to a program activity as cash match.
Cash Match Requirement
All applications for programs must provide at least a twenty (20%) percent cash match (Texas Administrative Code Title 43 §57.36). Multijurisdictional agencies must provide details for the method of cash match in intergovernmental agreements (Texas Government Code, Chapter 791). Cash match must meet the requirements provided in TxGMS.
Formulas to calculate cash match:
1. Total MVCPA grant funds requested multiplied by percentage of match required = Total Amount of Cash Match Required
2. Total Program Cost minus Total Cash Match Required = Total Authority Grant Request
NICB in Lieu of Cash - Applicants may enter into formal agreements with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) to work on grant funded activities. The amount of salary and other direct costs related to the work on grant activity provided by the NICB may be counted and reported as in lieu of cash match. Time certifications are required to be made by the employee for these positions as required by TXGMS. Applicants must meet the obligation expressed as cash match in the event NICB cannot meet its obligation.
In-Kind Match
Only include in-kind match if necessary for the local jurisdiction. In-kind match may be used to: 1) reflect the total level of jurisdictions' effort/costs to combat catalytic converter theft; 2) reflect how the grant program fits into jurisdictions' operation; 3) effectively operate a single program with multiple funding streams; and/or 4) contributions from the applicant or third parties that are for grant funded activity. Costs in detail line items shall not be split between in-kind match and grant funding. For example, the entire salary of an officer shall be placed in one expense type rather than split between grant and in-kind.
Reporting and Webinar Attendance Requirements
Applicants that are awarded grants will be required to provide:
Quarterly Progress Reports - The MVCPA requires the submission of quarterly progress reports to demonstrate progress toward meeting goals and activities provided in the grant application. These include: 1) Monthly progress toward meeting statutorily required performance measures; 2) Monthly progress recorded on the Goals, Strategies and Activities report; and 3) Quarterly Summary and Success section. Grantees designated as Border/Port Security grants are required to complete additional sections required by the Texas Legislature.
Quarterly Financial Reports - Reports of actual expenses incurred are required to request funds. All expenditures must be in accordance with local policies and procedures and grant requirements. Grantees shall review all expenditures, ensure all applicable regulations are followed, and maintain documentation that is accurate and complete. All expenses must be supported by appropriate documentation.
Microsoft TEAMS Attendance: One grant financial representative from the applicant agency is required to attend a monthly session via teleconference or webinar that includes information on MVCPA grant administration.
One law enforcement officer is required to attend the information sharing and networking sessions on a monthly session via TEAMS meeting that includes law enforcement issues and other MVCPA issues critical to the successful operation of MVCPA taskforces.
Funding Requirements and Conditions - Awards
