Senate Bill 1356 amends the Transportation Code to authorize a county or municipal law enforcement agency to impose a fee of $40 if the auto theft unit of the agency conducts an inspection required by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in connection with the assignment of a vehicle identification number by TxDOT. The bill requires the county or municipal treasurer to credit the fee to the general fund of the county or municipality, as applicable, to defray the agency's costs associated with the inspection. The bill requires the fee to be waived by TxDOT or the agency imposing the fee if the person applying for an assigned vehicle number is the current registered owner of the vehicle.
