IN RE:
HB132 by Gallego (Relating to the issuance of a driver's license to a person who has not obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to prohibit the Department of Public Safety (DPS) from issuing a driver’s license to certain persons who have not obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent. The bill would permit DPS to issue restricted driver’s licenses to certain persons who have not obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent. The bill would take effect January 1, 2012. This analysis assumes DPS could implement the provisions of the bill within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
