37 TAC 16.40
The Texas Department of Public Safety proposes an amend-
ment to 16.40, concerning application requirements and ex-
aminations.
The amendment to the section adds new subsection (d) which
requires that applicants for a commercial driver license provide
information relating to their citizenship and county of residence.
This change is necessary due to the passage of House Bill 82,
passed during the 76th Texas Legislature, 1999, relating to the
method by which a county reconstitutes the jury wheel and the
duty of the department to remove certain names from a list used
to reconstitute the jury wheel.
Tom Haas, Chief of Finance, has determined that for each year
of the first five-year period the rule is in effect there will be no
fiscal implications to state or local government.
Mr. Haas also has determined that for each year of the first
five years the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as
a result of enforcing the rule will be to properly reconstitute a
county's jury wheel information by providing better demographic
data for this purpose. There is no anticipated economic cost to
individuals or to small or large businesses.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Mary Ann
Courter, Chief of Legal Services, Texas Department of Public
Safety, Box 4087, Austin, Texas 78773-0140, (512) 424-2890.
The amendment is proposed pursuant to Texas Government
Code, 411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commis-
sion to adopt rules, considered necessary for carrying out the
department's work, and Texas Transportation Code, 521.005.
Texas Government Code, 411.004(3) and Texas Transporta-
tion Code, 521.005 are affected by this proposal.
16.40. Completion of Application.
(a) All spaces must be completed and all questions must be
answered on all forms required in order for the application to be
accepted.
(b) It is the responsibility of the applicant to assure that forms
requiring notarization are properly verified before persons authorized
to administer oaths.
(c) The applicant must provide proof of his social security
number. Social security cards issued by the United States Govern-
ment, W-2 tax forms, and payroll or employer records will be ac-
ceptable as documentation.
(d) All applicants must provide information relating to United
States citizenship and provide their county of residence at the time
of application.
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been re-
viewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's
legal authority to adopt.Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State, on February 29,

37 TAC 16.50
The Texas Department of Public Safety proposes an amend-
ment to 16.50, concerning examination requirements.
The amendment to 16.50(a) clarifies the composition and
components of the Commercial Driver License road test.
Amendment to 16.50(b)(4) modifies and clarifies disqualifica-
tion standards for Commercial Driver License road tests and
16.50(b)(2)(F) is deleted because it is not applicable.
Tom Haas, Chief of Finance, has determined that for each year
of the first five-year period the rule is in effect there will be no
fiscal implications for state or local government.
Mr. Haas also has determined that for each year of the first
five years the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated
as a result of enforcing the rule will be greater convenience
to the public and increased efficiency in administering road
tests to applicants for Commercial Driver Licenses. There is
no anticipated economic cost to small or large businesses.
The anticipated cost to individuals required to comply with the
section as proposed is the statutory licensing and testing fee.
