SECTION ____.  Section 43.352(b), Parks and Wildlife Code, is amended to read as follows:

(b)  At the option of the person applying for the issuance or renewal of a permit under this section, the [The] department may issue a permit [under this section] that is valid for [longer than] one year, three years, or five years. A three-year or five-year permit is available only to a person who agrees to submit the annual reports required under this subchapter electronically. The commission may adopt rules allowing the department to terminate a permit before the date originally specified for the permit issuance or renewal if the permit holder fails to submit the annual reports electronically as required for a three-year or five-year permit.
