Bill Analysis

Summary: SB 289 would remove the requirement for the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation (TCLR) and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to oversee restrictions on selling a loss damage waiver and would require compliance with current statute.

Analysis: SB 289 would limit government's scope and remove the requirement for the TDLR's review; therefore, eliminating a bureaucratic burden on the free-market. We support SB 289.
