            Senate Bill 181 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the use of a wireless communication device to display motor vehicle financial responsibility information as evidence of financial responsibility.  The bill specifies that the authorization does not prevent a court or the commissioner of insurance from requiring a person to provide a paper copy of the person’s evidence of financial responsibility.  The bill establishes certain protections for a telecommunications provider and for a person who uses a wireless communication device to display financial responsibility information.
