House Bill 343 |
House Author: Fletcher |

Effective: 9-1-11 |
Senate Sponsor: Huffman |
Under previous law, the individual record of a driver's license holder employed as a peace officer, firefighter, or emergency medical services employee of the state, a political subdivision of the state, or a special purpose district was prohibited from including information relating to a traffic accident that occurred while the peace officer, firefighter, or emergency medical services employee was driving an official vehicle in the course and scope of the license holder's official duties contingent on the accident occurring during an emergency. House Bill 343 amends the Transportation Code to make that prohibition contingent instead on the accident resulting in damages to property of less than $1,000 or a determination, after an investigation, that the peace officer, firefighter, or emergency medical services employee involved in the accident was not at fault.
