IN RE: | HB784 by Hughes (Relating to the issuance of specialty license plates for certain firefighters.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to include fire protection personnel to the list of firefighters for which the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is required to issue specialty license plates. The bill would authorize the issuance of up to three sets, rather than one set, of the specialty license plates and specifies that the fee for issuance of each set of license plates is $4 for volunteer firefighters and $30 for fire protection personnel.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact to State Highway Fund Revenues; and any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
