|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 521.103, Transportation Code, is amended |
|
|
to read as follows: |

|
|
personal identification certificate record indicates that the |
|
|
person is subject to the registration requirements of Chapter 62, |
|
|
Code of Criminal Procedure, only if the person: |
|
|
(1) applies in person for the issuance of a |
|
|
certificate under this section; and |
|
|
(2) pays a fee of $20. |
|
|

|
|
|
this section, including a renewal, duplicate, or corrected
|
|
|
certificate, expires on the first birthday of the certificate
|
|
|
holder occurring after the date of application, except that the
|
|
|
initial certificate issued under this section expires on the second
|
|
|
birthday of the certificate holder occurring after the date of
|
|
|
application.
|
|
|
[(c)] Sections 521.101(f-2), (f-3), and (f-4) apply to a |
|
|
personal identification certificate for which application is made |
|
|
under this section. |
|
|

|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|

|
|

|
|
driver's license or commercial driver learner's permit expires five |
|
|
years after the applicant's next birthday. |
|
|
SECTION 3. The following laws are repealed: |
|
|
(1) Article 62.060(b), Code of Criminal Procedure; |
|
|
(2) Sections 521.272(c) and (d), Transportation Code; |
|

|
(3) Section 522.033(b), Transportation Code. |

SECTION 4. The repeal by this Act of Article 62.060(b), Code |
|
|

|
|
that subsection as it existed on the date the offense was committed, |
|
|
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For |
|
|
purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the |
|
|
effective date of the repeal if any element of the offense occurred |
|
|
before that date. |
|
|

|
|
521.103, 521.272, 522.033, and 522.051, Transportation Code, apply |
|
|
only to a driver's license, personal identification certificate, |
|
|
commercial driver's license, or commercial driver learner's permit |
|
|

|
|
driver's license, personal identification certificate, commercial |
|
|
driver's license, or commercial driver learner's permit issued or |
|
|
renewed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law |
|
|
in effect when the license, certificate, or permit was issued, and |
|
|
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 6. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
