A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to a license suspension after moving violations for a
holder of a provisional driver's license.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 521.293, Transportation Code, is amended
by adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows:
(c) If the department determines that the person engaged in
conduct described by Section 521.292(a)(8), the person does not
request a hearing, and the moving violation is a third or subsequent
moving violation, in addition to the suspension period required by
Subsection (a), the person may not operate a motor vehicle until the
91st day after the last day of the suspension period unless the
person is accompanied by a person who:
(1) holds a license that qualifies the person to
operate that type of vehicle;
(2) is 21 years of age or older; and
(3) has at least one year of driving experience.
(d) The department shall send notice to a parent or guardian
of a person whose license is suspended under Subsection (c) of the
suspension and application restrictions if the parent or guardian's
address is in the records of the department.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an offense described by Section 521.292(a)(8), Transportation
Code, committed on or after the effective date of this Act. An
offense committed before the effective date of this Act is governed
by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed, 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 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
