Relating to the creation of a Texas conditional driver's permit, provisional Texas conditional driver's permit, and Texas conditional learner permit; authorizing a fee.

HB 5068 would create three new driver's permits in Texas for residents without valid immigration documentation: a Texas conditional driver's permit, a provisional Texas conditional driver's permit (for those under 18), and a Texas conditional learner permit. To qualify, applicants must have lived in Texas for at least one year, not be ineligible for a regular license, and complete a driver education course (with the learner permit exempt from the driving test). The permits would be valid only for driving - clearly marked as not serving as federal identification for purposes like voting - and designed to resemble standard driver's licenses. The bill also authorizes a fee and requires the state to establish rules for permit design, proof of identity, and criminal background checks.
