A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to fingerprinting requirements for the issuance of dealer |
|
|
general distinguishing numbers to certain persons. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 503, Transportation Code, |
|
|
is amended by adding Section 503.0292 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 503.0292. FINGERPRINTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN |
|
|
DEALERS. (a) This section applies only to a person who is an |
|
|
applicant for or holds a dealer general distinguishing number for |
|
|
10 or more locations. |
|
|
(b) Notwithstanding any other law, the department may |
|
|
require a person described by Subsection (a) who applies for an |
|
|
original or renewal dealer general distinguishing number under |
|
|
Section 503.029 to submit to the department a complete set of |
|
|
fingerprints to obtain the original or renewal number only if the |
|
|
department requires, for each location for which the person applies |
|
|
for a dealer general distinguishing number, a complete set of |
|
|
fingerprints from not more than one manager or other bona fide |
|
|
employee whose regular place of work is located within 100 miles of |
|
|
that location. For purposes of this subsection, a complete set of |
|
|
fingerprints from one manager or other bona fide employee satisfies |
|
|
the fingerprint requirements for a person's application for a |
|
|
dealer general distinguishing number for all locations from which |
|
|
the person conducts business as a dealer that are located within 100 |
|
|
miles of the location of the fingerprinted manager's or employee's |
|
|
regular place of work. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025. |
