Relating to emergency warning systems operated by municipalities and counties.

HB 224 allows Texas cities and counties to build emergency warning systems using contact information collected during driver's license applications. When renewing or applying for a driver's license, residents can voluntarily consent to share their contact details (like phone numbers, addresses, or email) with their local government for emergency alerts. Local governments must contract with the state to receive this information, and residents can opt out at any time by submitting a written request. The bill does not require participation and restricts contact information use solely to emergency warning purposes.
