Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Current law allows a disabled person to receive one set of disabled person
license plates for each vehicle owned by the person.  However, some
disabled persons own more than one vehicle and need more than one set of
license plates.  House Bill 3338 entitles certain permanently disabled
persons to obtain two sets of disabled person license plates for each
vehicle operated by or used for the transportation of the person.  
     
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 3338 amends the Transportation Code to entitle a person entitled
to register a vehicle for the transportation of or use by a permanently
disabled person to two sets of disabled person license plates for each
motorcycle, passenger car, or light  truck owned  by the person, or only
one set of disabled person license plates if used for a vehicle with
specialized equipment designed to assist persons who are unable to use one
or both of their legs.
