IN RE: | HB2234 by Orr (Relating to authorizing home-taught driver education course providers to administer certain examinations required to obtain a driver 's license.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code, Chapter 521 to permit certain home-taught driver education course providers to administer the highway sign and traffic law portion of the exam that is required to obtain a driver's license.
The bill would require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to adopt related rules no later than January 1, 2014. The bill takes effect September 1, 2013.
The Texas Education Agency indicated no fiscal impact as a result of changes made by the bill. DPS estimates that there would be a cost associated with implementing provisions of the bill. It is anticipated that the costs could be absorbed within current agency resources.
