Relating to certain temporary vehicle permit and tags.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 1816 would make certain changes to display requirements of temporary tags issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles by requiring that 72-hour or 144-hour temporary permits be carried inside the vehicle, in addition, would also amend the Transportation Code to require that for one-trip or 30-day trip permits, the permit be located in the rear license plate display area.
SB 1816 would establish a maximum number of temporary tags that a dealer or converter may obtain. The maximum number of temporary tags that the department determines a dealer or converter may obtain under this section must be based on the dealer's or converter's anticipated need for temporary tags, taking into consideration: the dealer's or converter's time in operation, sales data, expected growth, expected changes in the dealer's or converter's market, and temporary conditions that may affect sales by the dealer or converter.
SB 1816 makes some changes to the display requirements of temporary permits in Texas and places a limit on the maximum number of temporary tags allowed within a year. Texas Action is neutral on SB 1816.
