Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 3757 amends the Texas Driver and Traffic Safety Education Act to require the Texas Education Agency to develop minimum driver education or driver training school certification standards for drug and alcohol awareness programs. House Bill 3757 requires the agency and the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse to enter into a memorandum of understanding for interagency approval of the required course curricula, and it authorizes the State Board of Education to establish reasonable and necessary fees to implement and administer the safety education provisions relating to such programs.

The act also amends the Insurance Code to require the commissioner of insurance to promulgate rules to require a five percent premium discount for a personal motor vehicle insurance policy held by a qualified person who completes an approved drug and alcohol awareness program.
