Senate Bill 1914 amends Transportation Code provisions concerning certain specialty license plates. Previous law required the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to issue specialty license plates depicting the State Capitol. The bill instead requires TxDMV to design and issue specialty license plates relating to the State Capitol and authorizes TxDMV to design the license plates in consultation with the State Preservation Board. The bill also requires the remainder of the fee for issuance of the license plates, after deducting the department's administrative costs, to be deposited to the credit of the Capitol fund, rather than the general revenue fund. Finally, the bill removes the specification that the specialty license plates issued to state officials include the words "State Official."
