Relating to a grant program for nonprofit organizations supporting employees of the Department of Public Safety; authorizing voluntary contributions.
HB 3033 creates a voluntary $3 or more contribution option for people applying for or renewing Texas driver's licenses, personal ID cards, or commercial driver's licenses. Applicants can choose to add this contribution during the application process, either on paper forms or online. The Texas Department of Public Safety will collect these funds monthly and send them to a state account supporting nonprofit organizations that assist Department of Public Safety employees. This is a procedural bill that enables new funding for these nonprofits through existing license application systems, without changing license requirements or fees.
