IN RE: | HB678 by Sheets (Relating to the use of a wireless communication device to provide evidence of motor vehicle financial responsibility.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to provide a motor vehicle operator with the option of providing evidence of financial responsibility in an electronic format displayed on a wireless communication device. It is assumed the costs, if any, of implementing the bill could be absorbed within existing state agency resources.
The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2013.
