Senate Bill 1371 amends the Transportation Code to authorize a political subdivision to contract with the Department of Public Safety to provide information to the department in order to deny the renewal of a driver's license for a person who fails to pay or satisfy a fine or court cost involving any offense that a justice or municipal court has jurisdiction of under state law, and it requires the political subdivision to notify the department when the payment of the fine or cost has been resolved. The bill requires a person who fails to appear for a complaint or citation or to pay or satisfy a fine or court cost to pay an administrative fee of $30 for each violation.
