HOUSE BILL 153 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: J. Nixon |
|
EFFECTIVE: 9-1-99 |
SENATE SPONSOR: Moncrief |
House Bill 153 amends the Government Code to require the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to create a record, upon a declaration by a state's attorney, a county sheriff, and an individual that the individual's identity has been used by another person illegally. The act requires a record of the individual's identity and unique password to be in the criminal history record maintained by the DPS, and for the record to be available online to any criminal justice agency authorized to receive information from the DPS.
The act amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require DPS, on receipt of a declaration, to separate the information on the individual whose identity has been misused from the person who misused the information, in the computerized criminal history system.
