Relating to the revocation of a driver's license or personal identification certificate and to disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle.
HB 4804 automatically revokes a person's driver's license or personal identification certificate if they are subject to sex offender or terrorist registration under Texas law (Chapters 62/65 of the Criminal Procedure Code) and fail to apply for renewal as required. The bill affects individuals under these registration requirements who do not complete the renewal process. Key provisions include amending Transportation Code sections to mandate this automatic revocation and repealing two existing sections (521.297(b) and 522.087(b)). The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
