Amend HB 588 by striking SECTION 1 of the bill (page 1, lines
5-11) and substituting the following:
SECTION 1. Section 601.053, Transportation Code, is amended
by adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows:
(c) A person commits an offense if the person fails or
refuses to provide to a peace officer the evidence of financial
responsibility as required by Subsection (a). An offense under
this subsection is a Class C misdemeanor.
(d) A court shall dismiss a charge of an offense under
Subsection (c) if the defendant presents to the court one of the
documents listed in Subsection (a) that was valid at the time that
the offense occurred. The court may assess the defendant an
administrative fee not to exceed $10 when the charge is dismissed.
Section 51.607, Government Code, does not apply to the
administrative fee.
