Amend HB 2833 as follows:
SECTION 1. Subsection (a), Section 521.426, Transportation
Code, is amended to read as follows:
(a) Except as provided by Subsection (c), a veteran of
service in the armed forces of the United States is exempt from the
payment of fees under this chapter for the issuance of a driver's
license or personal identification certificate if the veteran:
(1) was honorably discharged;
(2) has a service-related disability of at least 60
percent; and
(3) receives compensation from the United States
because of the disability.

date the certificate was issued, and the former law is continued in
effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2007.
