Senate Bill 604 amends the Transportation Code, Occupations Code, Government Code, Insurance Code, and Revised Statutes to continue the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) until September 1, 2031. The bill, among other provisions, eliminates the representative’s license, provides for the use and maintenance of an automated registration and titling system, and establishes the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority. The bill requires TxDMV to organize a study and subsequent report on the impact of the alternatively fueled vehicles industry, options for collecting fees from owners of alternatively fueled vehicles to replace the loss of revenue from motor fuel taxes, and the feasibility and desirability of establishing a fee for such vehicles.
