Senate Bill 1936 amends the Transportation Code to require the Department of Public Safety to include a disabled veteran designation and the veteran's branch of the service on a personal identification certificate or driver's license issued to a veteran who has received certain service-connected disability ratings on request of the disabled veteran. The bill authorizes a disabled veteran, for purposes of obtaining a service or benefit available for disabled veterans in Texas, to use the certificate or license as satisfactory proof of disability rating and of branch of service and honorable discharge. The certificate or license is not satisfactory proof of disability rating for purposes of obtaining an applicable property tax exemption.
