| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter F, Chapter 521, Transportation Code, | ||
| is amended by adding Section 521.127 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 521.127. STATEMENTS ON LIMITED TERM LICENSE. (a) In | ||
| this section, "limited term license" means a driver's license with | ||
| an expiration date set under Section 521.271(a-2), (a-3), or (a-4), | ||
| 521.2711(c), or 521.272(c)(2). | ||
| (b) The department shall include the following statements | ||
| on each limited term license: "This license is not acceptable for | ||
| official federal purposes. This license is issued only as a license | ||
| to drive a motor vehicle. This license does not establish | ||
| eligibility for employment, voter registration, or public | ||
| benefits." | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 521.127, Transportation Code, as added | ||
| by this Act, applies only to a driver's license issued or renewed on | ||
| or after the effective date of this Act. A driver's license issued | ||
| or renewed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the | ||
| law in effect when the license was issued or renewed, and the former | ||
| law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
