37 TAC §2.8
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §2.8, concerning Expiration. This rule change is necessary to implement Senate Bill 616, 86th Legislative Session, which requires the Capitol Access Pass expire no later than the second anniversary of the date it was issued.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the rule will be the effective implementation of legislation.
The department prepared a Government Growth Impact Statement assessment for this proposed rulemaking. The proposed rulemaking does not create or eliminate a government program; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; will not require the creation of new employee positions nor eliminate current employee positions; nor will it require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the agency. The proposed rulemaking does not create, expand, or limit an existing regulation. The proposed rulemaking does not increase or decrease the number of individuals subject to its applicability. During the first five years the proposed rule is in effect, the proposed rule should not impact positively or negatively the state's economy.
Comments on this proposal may be submitted to Steve Moninger, Regulatory Services Division, Department of Public Safety, P.O. Box 4087, MSC-0240, Austin, Texas 78773-0246, or by email to RSD.Rule.Comments@dps.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this proposal.

37 TAC §6.13
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §6.13, concerning Photographs. These amendments are necessary to implement the 86th Texas Legislature, House Bill 4195. This bill removes the statutory requirement of a color photograph as part of the application for a license to carry a handgun. Therefore, corresponding references within the rule on application requirements have been removed.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of the rule will be greater consistency with recent legislation.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Steve Moninger, Regulatory Services Division, Department of Public Safety, P.O. Box 4087, MSC-0240, Austin, Texas 78773-0246, or emailed to RSD.Rule.Comments@dps.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this proposal.

TRD-201904595
37 TAC §13.1
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §13.1, concerning Definitions. These amendments are necessary to implement Senate Bill 616, 86th Texas Legislature. This bill repeals the Health and Safety Code provision requiring distributors and recipients of chemical precursors and laboratory apparatus obtain permits issued by the department. However, the bill leaves in place certain record keeping and reporting requirements for those who use precursor chemicals or laboratory apparatus, and the authority for audits and the inspection of records.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of rule will be the effective implementation of new legislation.
This proposal is made pursuant to Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission to adopt rules considered necessary for carrying out the department's work; Texas Health and Safety Code, §481.003, which authorizes the director to adopt rules to administer and enforce the chapter.
Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), and Texas Health and Safety Code, §481.003, are affected by this proposal.
§13.1.Definitions.
(a) The terms in this section, when used in this chapter, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
(1) Act--The Texas Controlled Substances Act (Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 481).
(2) Day--A calendar day unless otherwise indicated as a business day.
(3) Department (DPS)--The Texas Department of Public Safety.
(4) Distributor--A manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer or other person who sells, transfers, or otherwise furnishes a chemical precursor or a chemical laboratory apparatus.

SUBCHAPTER B. PRECURSOR CHEMICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS (PCLA)
37 TAC §§13.11, 13.12, 13.14, 13.15, 13.20, 13.22
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes the repeal of §§13.11, 13.12, 13.14, 13.15, 13.20, and 13.22 concerning Precursor Chemical Laboratory Apparatus (PCLA). The 86th Legislative Session, Senate Bill 616 repealed the Health and Safety Code provisions requiring distributors and recipients of chemical precursors and laboratory apparatus obtain permits issued by the department, therefore these rules are obsolete.
In addition, Ms. Whittenton has also determined that for each year of the first five-year period the repeal is in effect, the public benefit will be effective implementation of new legislation.
The department has determined this proposal is not a "major environmental rule" as defined by Texas Government Code, §2001.0225. "Major environmental rule" is defined to mean a rule that the specific intent of which is to protect the environment or reduce risk to human health from environmental exposure and that may adversely affect, in a material way, the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment or the public health and safety of a state or a sector of the state. These rules are not specifically intended to protect the environment or reduce risks to human health from environmental exposure.
The department prepared a Government Growth Impact Statement assessment for this proposed rulemaking. The proposed rulemaking does not create or eliminate a government program; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; will not require the creation of new employee positions nor eliminate current employee positions; nor will it require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the agency. The proposed rulemaking does repeal existing regulations. The proposed rulemaking does not increase or decrease the number of individuals subject to its applicability. During the first five years the proposed repeal is in effect, it should not impact positively or negatively the state's economy.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Steve Moninger, Regulatory Services Division, Department of Public Safety, P.O. Box 4087, MSC-0240, Austin, Texas 78773-0246, or by email to RSD.Rule.Comments@dps.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this proposal.
Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), and Texas Health and Safety Code, §481.003, are affected by these rules.

37 TAC §§13.13, 13.16, 13.19, 13.21, 13.23
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §§13.13, 13.16, 13.19, 13.21, and 13.23, concerning Precursor Chemical and Laboratory Apparatus (PCLA). These amendments are necessary to implement Senate Bill 616, 86th Texas Legislature. This bill repeals the Health and Safety Code provision requiring distributors and recipients of chemical precursors and laboratory apparatus obtain permits issued by the department. However, the bill leaves in place certain record keeping and reporting requirements for those who use precursor chemicals or laboratory apparatus, and the authority for audits and the inspection of records.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rules are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of rules will be the effective implementation of new legislation.

The comprehensive monthly report is due by the 30th day following the end of the reported month.]
[(d) All required reports must be submitted to the department in the form and manner required by the department.]
§13.16.Security.
(a) A distributor or recipient [permit holder] must establish and maintain effective controls and procedures to prevent unauthorized access, theft, or diversion of any precursor chemical laboratory apparatus (PCLA). The following constitute the minimum security requirements to protect these controlled items. The distributor or recipient [permit holder] must:
(2) Limit access to each storage area to the minimum number of individuals or employees necessary for the distributor's or recipient's [permit holder's] activities; and

SUBCHAPTER C. PEYOTE DISTRIBUTORS
37 TAC §§13.31 - 13.44
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes the repeal of §§13.31 - 13.44, concerning Peyote Distributors. These rule changes are necessary to implement Senate Bill 616, 86th Legislative Session. Senate Bill 616 repeals the Health and Safety Code provision requiring peyote distributors register with the department.
The department prepared a Government Growth Impact Statement assessment for this proposed rulemaking. The proposed rulemaking does not create or eliminate a government program; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; will not require the creation of new employee positions nor eliminate current employee positions; nor will it require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the agency. The proposed rulemaking does repeal existing regulations. The proposed rulemaking does not increase or decrease the number of individuals subject to its applicability. During the first five years the proposed repeal is in effect, the repeal should not impact positively or negatively the state's economy.
§13.31.Application for Peyote Distributor Registration.
§13.32.Expiration and Renewal.

TRD-201904601
37 TAC §15.6
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §15.6, concerning Motorcycle License. The 86th Texas Legislature enacted House Bill 3171, which repealed Texas Transportation Code, §521.225 requiring a restricted Class M license to operate a moped and redefined a motor-driven cycle as a motorcycle. This rule amendment removes references to moped licenses and motor-driven cycles.
Suzy Whittenton, Assistant Director, Finance, has determined that for each year of the first five-year period this rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government or local economies.
In addition, Ms. Whittenton has also determined that for each year of the first five-year period this rule is in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of this amendment will be elimination of the restricted Class M license for operation of a moped and a greater understanding of the types of motorcycles and licenses required for their operation.
The Department has determined that this proposal is not a "major environmental rule" as defined by Texas Government Code Section 2001.0225. "Major environmental rule" is defined to mean a rule that the specific intent of which is to protect the environment or reduce risks to human health from environmental exposure that may adversely affect, in a material way, the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment or the public health and safety of a state or a sector of the state. This proposal is not specifically intended to protect the environment or reduce the risks to human health from environmental exposure.
The Department has determined that Chapter 2007 of the Texas Government Code does not apply to this amendment. Accordingly, the Department is not required to complete a takings impact assessment.
The department prepared a Government Growth Impact Statement assessment for this proposed rulemaking. The proposed rulemaking does not create or eliminate a government program; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; and will not require the creation of new employee positions nor eliminate current employee positions. The proposed rulemaking will result in a decrease in fees paid to the agency. The 86th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3171 which eliminated the moped license requirement. This will result in fewer people obtaining licenses and paying fees for those licenses. The proposed rulemaking does limit an existing regulation and the proposed rulemaking does decrease the number of individuals subject to its applicability. During the first five years the proposed rule is in effect, the proposed rule should not impact positively or negatively the state's economy.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Janie Sawatsky, Driver License Division, Texas Department of Public Safety, P.O. Box 4087 (MSC 0300), Austin, Texas 78773; by fax to (512) 424-5233; or by email to DLDrulecomments@dps.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this proposal.
This proposal is made pursuant to Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission to adopt rules considered necessary for carrying out the department's work and Texas Transportation Code, §521.005, which authorizes the department to adopt rules necessary to administer Chapter 521 of the Texas Transportation Code.
Texas Government Code, §411.004(3) and Texas Transportation Code, §521.005 are affected by this proposal.
§15.6.Motorcycle License.
A driver who qualifies to operate a motorcycle will be issued a Class M license. When a driver is also qualified to operate a motor vehicle with a Class A, B, or C license, one license with any applicable restrictions will be issued. Parent or guardian authorization is required for applicants younger than 18 years of age. [A motorcycle license authorizes the driving of a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle or moped. Four types of motorcycle licenses are issued. One is for all motorcycles of any size engine; one is for three-wheeled motorcycles; one is for motor-driven cycles of 250 cubic centimeter piston displacement or less; and one is for mopeds of less than 50 cubic centimeter piston displacement. A driver qualifying to operate both motorcycle and Class A, B, or C type vehicles will be issued one license showing both classes with restrictions when applicable.]
(1) [Motorcycle. Requires a] Class M license.
(A) The minimum age is 16 years with completion of the classroom phase of driver education and a department approved motorcycle operator training course. [Parent or guardian authorization is required for applicants under 18 years of age.]
(B) This authorizes operation of all motorcycles and [,] three-wheeled motorcycles[, motor-driven cycles, and mopeds].
(2) Restricted [Three-Wheeled Motorcycle. Requires restricted] Class M license.
(A) The minimum age is 16 years with completion of the classroom phase of driver education and a department-approved motorcycle operator training course specific to the operation of a three-wheeled motorcycle. [Parent or guardian authorization is required for applicants under 18 years of age.]
[(B) The Class M license will be restricted to driving a three-wheeled motorcycle.]
[(3)] [Motor-Driven Cycle. Requires restricted Class M license.]
(B) [(A)] The minimum age is 15 years with completion of the classroom phase of driver education and a department approved motorcycle operator training course specific to 250 cubic centimeter piston displacement or less.

[(C) Satisfactory completion of a vision and written test are required. No road test is required.]
(3) [(5)] A Motorcycle Operator Training Program Certificate of Completion (Form MSB-8) or a completion card from a state or military motorcycle safety training program showing that the applicant has completed a course in basic motorcycle safety instruction that meets or exceeds the Motorcycle Safety Foundation curriculum standards will be used as proof of successful completion of a department approved motorcycle operator training course.
TRD-201904602
37 TAC §15.27
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §15.27, concerning Signature by Parent or Guardian for a Driver License. This amendments are necessary because the 86th Texas Legislature enacted House Bill 2551, which added an agent with power of attorney for the parent to the persons authorized to sign for minor's driver license.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of rule will be a greater understanding of the persons authorized to sign the application for a minor's driver license.
§15.27.Signature by Parent or Guardian for a Driver License.
(a) [Application.] The application of a minor for a driver license must be signed by the person having custody of the minor. This should be the father or mother; if the minor is not in the custody of the minor's [his] father or mother, the guardian or agent under a power of attorney for the parent should sign [then his guardian should sign], and if not in the custody of any of the foregoing, the minor's [his] employer or the county judge of the county in which the minor [he] resides may sign.
(b) [Separate notarization.] The signing custodian authorizes operation of only those vehicles which may be legally operated with the license applied for. Therefore, when a minor applies for a license to drive a vehicle not authorized by the minor's [his] current license, a separate new notarized authorization from the custodian is required.
(c) [Exception.] The parental authorization is not required for persons under age 18 who are or have been married or whose disabilities of minority have been removed generally, by law. Instead, they must:
(1) present a marriage certificate or a divorce decree (but not an annulment decree) or other satisfactory evidence of marriage or of having been married;
(2) present a court order showing removal of disabilities of minority; or
(3) obtain a notarized parental authorization as though the minor [he or she] were not or had not been married.
(d) [Requirements pertaining to parental authorizations. ] Marriage or the removal of the disabilities of minority affect only requirements pertaining to parental authorizations. All other requirements of the law for licensing must be complied with, including minimum ages for licensing.
(e) [Request to withdraw or restore an authorization. ] A request to withdraw or restore an authorization must be submitted to the department in writing.
TRD-201904603
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) proposes amendments to §15.55, concerning Waiver of Knowledge and/or Skills Tests. The amendment is necessary because the 86th Texas Legislature enacted House Bill 3171, which repeals the requirement for a Class M license restricted to moped operation.
Ms. Whittenton has determined that for each year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of rule will be a greater understanding of the examination waivers allowed for driver license issuance.
The department prepared a Government Growth Impact Statement assessment for this proposed rulemaking. The proposed rulemaking does not create or eliminate a government program; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; will not require the creation of new employee positions nor eliminate current employee positions; nor will it require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the agency. The proposed rulemaking does limit an existing regulation and does decrease the number of individuals subject to its applicability. The 86th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3171, which eliminated the moped license requirement. This will result in the administration of fewer knowledge exams and reduction in the number of applicants for motorcycle licenses. During the first five years the proposed rule is in effect, the proposed rule should not impact positively or negatively the state's economy.
(3) Unrestricted Class A, B, and C license--A license that allows a person 18 years of age or older to operate a motor vehicle without having a restriction that requires a licensed driver 21 years of age or older in the front seat.
(2) Applicants younger [less] than 25 years of age who present driver education completion certificates dated two or more years prior to the date of application will not have any examinations waived. These certificates are acceptable as proof of driver education completion.
(A) Knowledge and skills exams are waived for applicants who hold a valid license from another U.S. state, U.S. territory, or province of Canada when applying for a Texas license of the same or lower type. An applicant with a valid license will be required to pass the vision exam.
[(2) Class M license restricted to Moped:]
[(A) The Class M knowledge exam is required for all applicants.]
[(B) The skills exam is not required.]
(2) [(3)] Class M License:
(B) The skills exam is waived for individuals age 18 and older [over] who have a valid, unrestricted Class A, B, or C Texas driver license and have successfully completed a department approved motorcycle operator training course.
(D) An applicant must present either item [items] detailed in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this subparagraph to confirm successful completion of a department approved motorcycle operator training course:
(i) a [A] valid Standardized Motorcycle Operator Training Course completion card (Form MSB-8); or
(ii) a [A] valid completion card from a state or military motorcycle safety training program showing that the applicant has completed a course in basic motorcycle safety instruction that meets or exceeds the department approved curriculum standards.
