Relating to the assumption of the powers and duties relating to driver's licenses, personal identification certificates, and other related programs, powers, and duties by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.

SB 2048 transfers responsibility for driver's licenses, personal identification certificates, and related programs from the Texas Department of Public Safety to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). It updates state code to reflect this change and redirects fees collected from license applications to fund a modernized license system, including image comparison technology. The bill also protects railroad operators' license details in collision reports and prevents their involvement from appearing on driving records. This change directly affects how Texas issues and manages identification documents, shifting oversight to the TxDMV.
