	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 521.050(a), Transportation Code, is
	amended to read as follows:
	(a) In addition to the provisions of this subchapter
	relating to the disclosure of driver's license information on an
	individual, the department may provide a purchaser, in a format
	prescribed by the department and acceptable to the purchaser, the
	names, addresses, and dates of birth of all license holders that are
	contained in the department's basic driver's license record file if
	the purchaser certifies in writing that the purchaser:
	(1) is eligible to receive the information under
	Chapter 730; and
	(2) has not experienced a breach of system security,
	as defined by Section 521.053, Business & Commerce Code, in the

	date of this Act. The disclosure by the Department of Public Safety
	of driver's license information in response to a request for the
	information that is made before the effective date of this Act is
	governed by the law in effect immediately before the effective date
	of this Act, and the former law is continued in effect for that
