Relating to fingerprinting requirements for the issuance of dealer general distinguishing numbers to certain persons.

HB 2522 requires the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to collect fingerprints from only one manager or employee per 100-mile radius cluster of locations for dealers applying for or renewing a "dealer general distinguishing number" for 75 or more locations. This replaces previous requirements that would have needed fingerprints for each individual location. The bill directly affects large auto dealers operating across multiple sites, streamlining the application process by allowing a single fingerprint set to cover all locations within a 100-mile radius of the employee's regular workplace. The change applies to original applications and renewals, effective September 1, 2025.
