This bill would amend the Transportation Code as it relates to an exemption for certain disabled veterans from the fees required for the issuance of a personal identification certificate.
This bill would amend Transportation Code, Section 521.426 which states a veteran who served in the United States’ armed forces who was: 1) honorably discharged, 2) has a service-related disability of 60 percent and 3) receives compensation because of the disability is exempt from the payment of fees for the issuance of a personal identification certificate. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2007.
DPS states the technology costs estimated to comply with exemption for certain disabled veterans from the fees required for the issuance of a personal identification certificate includes a one-time cost of $13,000 (65 hours of programming x $200 per hour) in Texas Mobility Fund 365 in fiscal year 2008 for program changes to the driver's license/identification card system.
