| IN RE: |
HB1222 by Metcalf (Relating to license plates issued for and displayed on a vehicle.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Transportation Code, Section 504.010, to require the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to issue two license plates to an applicant for registration of a passenger car or light truck. The bill would require TxDMV rules adopted under Section 504.010(c) to authorize a passenger car or light truck to display only a rear license plate if the motor vehicle is not equipped by the manufacturer with an exterior front feature to which a license plate may be fastened without drilling through the exterior of the vehicle.
Based on the information and analysis provided by TxDMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the department's existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
