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.
