Relating to the inclusion of a person's sex on driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, commercial learner's permits, and personal identification certificates.
HB 2549 requires Texas driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, commercial learner's permits, and personal ID certificates to include the applicant's biological sex as determined at birth (male or female). This applies to all applicants when submitting new applications or renewing licenses under Sections 521.101, 521.121, and 521.142 of the Texas Transportation Code. The bill mandates that applications must include space for this information and that licenses must display it as part of the holder's description. It directly affects every Texas resident applying for or renewing these identification documents.
