Bill Analysis
SB 1934 would amend the Transportation Code to stipulate how
Department of Public Safety may request and use a driver license
applicant's social security number. The bill would apply the same standards
to personal identification cards. The bill would require an individual
to surrender their identification card to get a driver license, and
their driver license to get an identification card.
Vote Recommendation Notes
05/22/2015 update:
No changes were made to this bill. The second chamber sponsor is Representative Rick Miller.
First chamber recommendation:
This bill affirms the principle of limited government. Preventing a person's private information that is collected by the government from being misused is a legitimate function of government and SB 1934 prevents the misuse of state identification cards. For this reason, we support SB 1934.
