TO: | Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB985 by Hegar (Relating to certification of a person as eligible for disabled parking privileges.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to allow the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to accept a notarized statement from an Advanced Practice Nurse or Physician Assistant with an initial application for the issuance of a disabled parking placard.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house or otherwise on September 1, 2007.
