Relating to the eligibility requirements for a license to carry a
handgun.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 2169 would rescind the statutory prohibition on issuing a license to carry a handgun to a person who has been found to be delinquent on their taxes.
Texas Action supports HB 2169 on the principles of limited government, free market, and individual liberty. The timing of one's tax payments should have no bearing on whether they are allowed to exercise their constitutional rights.
