The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Transportation Code as it relates to the establishment of the Texas Uninsured Vehicle Enforcement Program. Under the provisions of the bill, the Texas Department of Public Safety would establish a program to use automatic license plate reader systems to help law enforcement agencies identify uninsured motor vehicles and prepare an annual report as outlined in the bill.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
