Bill Caption

Relating to cosigners on driver's license applications of minors.


Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Currently, a driver's license application for a person under 18 years of age must be signed by a parent or guardian, or if there is no parent or guardian, then the applicant's employer or a county judge. HB 2551 would allow an individual under the age of 18 to obtain a driver's license if an agent with power of attorney for the child cosigns the application.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on HB 2551 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
