BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 521, Transportation Code,
is amended by adding Section 521.0501 to read as follows:
Sec. 521.0501. PERSONAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE REPORT. (a)
Not later than September 1 of each year, the department shall

were subject to a fee, including the sale of information under
Section 521.050.

SECTION 2. Section 730.007(b), Transportation Code, is
amended to read as follows:

SECTION 4. Sections 730.013(b) and (c), Transportation
Code, are repealed.
SECTION 5. The repeal by this Act of Section 730.013(c),

and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For
purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the
effective date of this Act if any element of the offense occurred
before that date.
SECTION 7. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021.
