DRIVER LICENSE RULES
Subchapter D. DRIVER IMPROVEMENT
37 TAC §15.81, §15.89
The Texas Department of Public Safety adopts an amendment
to §15.81 and new §15.89, concerning Driver Improvement, without
changes to the proposed text as published in the April 16, 2004, issue of
the
Texas Register
(29 TexReg 3776).
Amendment of §15.81 and new §15.89 are necessary due to the passage
of Tex H.B. 3588, 78th Leg., R.S. (2003). This bill created the Driver Responsibility
Program, Texas Transportation Code (TRC), Chapter 708 and requires the department
to identify by rule a listing of moving violations applicable to this program
and administrative actions.
Amendment to §15.81 deletes the definition of "moving violation" and
renumbers the remaining paragraphs.
New §15.89 is created to address the "moving violation" definition,
provides a table listing moving violations, and whether or not the violation
would be assessed points under the Driver Responsibility Program.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment and new section.
The amendment and new section are adopted pursuant to Texas Government
Code, §411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission to adopt
rules considered necessary for carrying out the department's rules, and Texas
Transportation Code, §708.052, which requires the department to designate
offenses that constitute moving violations of the traffic law.
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 June 2, 2004.
