Senate Bill 848 amends the Education Code and Transportation Code to provide for the electronic issuance and delivery of driver education certificates, to expand the persons eligible to conduct the parent-taught driver education course, and to revise the eligibility requirements for a person conducting the course. The bill prohibits the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation from charging a fee for the submission of proof of completion of the course or passage of examinations for a parent-taught driver education course. The bill decreases from $25,000 to $10,000 the amount of a corporate surety bond a driving safety course provider must hold to be issued a license.
