H.B. No. 2522

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

75 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.
