Amend SB 21 on third reading by adding the following
appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering
subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
SECTION ____ . Section 521.142(a), Transportation Code, is
amended to read as follows:
(a) An application for an original license must state the
applicant's full name and place and date of birth. This information
must be verified by presentation or proof of identity satisfactory
to the department. The department shall accept as proof of the
applicant's identity an identity document that is issued by the
government of another country, if that document bears the
applicant's photograph, full name, and date of birth and the
government of the other country has established reasonable
mechanisms by which the department can verify the identity
document. For purposes of this section, an identity document
includes a passport, a consular identity document, and a national
identity document. On the reverse side of a driver's license, the
department shall print the license holder's country of citizenship
and indicate the country of citizenship by a uniform symbol or code
on the face of the license in the space where the department
indicates a restriction or endorsement.
