Amend the Grusendorf amendment No. 35 to CSSB 1863 by adding 
to the new ARTICLE added to that bill the following appropriately 
numbered SECTION and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the added 
ARTICLE accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 521.161, Transportation Code, is 
amended by adding Subsection (c-1) to read as follows:
	(c-1)  The department shall, from money currently available, 
design and administer in each county of this state an alternate oral 
examination for applicants who because of extreme circumstances are 
unable to take the traffic law and highway sign part of the 
examination in a manner authorized by Subsection (c).  The 
alternate oral examination must be identical to the examination 
administered to other applicants under Subsection (c).  If the 
applicant takes that part of the examination orally in addition to 
another testing method, the applicant is considered to have passed 
that part of the examination if the applicant passes either version 
of the examination.  The department shall inform each person taking 
the examination of the person's rights under this subsection.  The 
fee for an alternate oral examination is $15 in addition to any 
other fees applicable to an examination.
