|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to a license suspension after moving violations for a |
|
|
holder of a provisional driver's license. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 521.293, Transportation Code, is amended |
|
|
by adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) If the department determines that the person engaged in |
|
|
conduct described by Section 521.292(a)(8), the person does not |
|
|
request a hearing, and the moving violation is a third or subsequent |
|
|
moving violation, in addition to the suspension period required by |
|
|
Subsection (a), the person may not operate a motor vehicle until the |
|
|
91st day after the last day of the suspension period unless the |
|
|
person is accompanied by a person who: |
|
|
(1) holds a license that qualifies the person to |
|
|
operate that type of vehicle; |
|
|
(2) is 21 years of age or older; and |
|
|
(3) has at least one year of driving experience. |
|
|
(d) The department shall send notice to a parent or guardian |
|
|
of a person whose license is suspended under Subsection (c) of the |
|
|

|
|
to an offense described by Section 521.292(a)(8), Transportation |

|
|
this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of |
|
|
this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date. |
