IN RE: | HB479 by Hunter (Relating to registration with the Selective Service System of certain applicants for a driver's license or personal identification certificate.), As Engrossed |
The bill amends Section 521.147 of the Transportation Code to automatically register any male applicant of a driver’s license or personal identification certificate who is between the ages of 18 and 26 for the United States Selective Service System. The bill requires the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to notify the applicant that application for a license or certificate constitutes the applicant’s consent to registration with the service, and exempts those who have previously registered. The bill further requires DPS to post a sign in English and Spanish providing the information contained in the notification.
