37 TAC §15.24
The Texas Department of Public Safety adopts the repeal of
§15.24, concerning Identification of Applicants, without changes to the
proposed text as published in the December 25, 1998, issue of the
Texas Register
(23 TexReg 13023) and will not be republished.
The justification for the repeal is necessary in order for the department
to adopt new §15.24 which will provide for better, more positive identification
of applicants for Texas driver's license and identification certificates,
thereby reducing public and private sector losses due to fraud that is committed
using fictitious identification.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the repeal.
The repeal is adopted pursuant to Texas Government code, §411.006(4),
which authorizes the director of the Department of Public Safety to adopt
rules, subject to commission approval, considered necessary for the control
of the department and Texas Transportation Code §521.005.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on February
4, 1999.
