Bill Caption
Relating to veterans services information provided to veterans who receive driver's licenses and personal identification certificates.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the
Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) to provide a one-page informational paper about veterans
services provided by the state to a veteran who receives a driver's license or personal
identification certificate with a veteran's endorsement.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This legislation provides information to veterans with a drivers license endorsement signifying they are a veteran. We remain neutral on this legislation as it neither affirms nor abridges our liberty principles.
However, as long as legislators are considering this bill they may wish to amend it to require the informational handout include employment opportunities and resources addition to the list of services that would also be provided.
