Re: Electronic Driving Licenses

Hi David -

Here is what I know about the program in Texas:

   - This is the 3rd session this pilot program was proposed [the report I
   shared was a result of this not passing in prior legislative session.
   - This session, there are two associated bills: HB 181 [which has
   already passed] and a companion SB 991 [which is going to the floor - via
   the HS committee]
   - This pilot is already funded via existing budgets within the DMV; the
   fiscal note attached to these bills cites no fiscal impact, making it
   easier to approve.

Best,
