CHAPTER 15. DRIVER LICENSE RULES
SUBCHAPTER B. APPLICATION

37 TAC 15.44
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) pro-
poses amendments to 15.44, concerning Driver License Pho-
tograph. This amendment strikes the word color according to
House Bill 1345 and House Bill 3050 enacted by the 85th Texas
Legislature.
Suzy Whittenton, Chief Financial Officer, 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, or local
economies.
Ms. Whittenton has also determined that there will be no adverse
economic effect on small businesses, micro-businesses, or ru-
ral communities required to comply with the rule as proposed.There is no anticipated economic cost to individuals who are re-
quired to comply with the rule as proposed. There is no antici-
pated negative impact on local employment.
In addition, Ms. Whittenton has also determined that for each
year of the first five-year period the rule is in effect, the public
benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the rule will be in-
creased transparency and better understanding of the examina-
tion requirements for licensed nonresidents.
The department has determined this proposal is not a "major
environmental rule" as defined by Texas Government Code,
2001.0225. "Major environmental rule" is defined to mean a
rule that the specific intent of which is to protect the environment
or reduce risk to human health from environmental exposure
and that may adversely affect, in a material way, the economy,
a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment or the public health and safety of a state or a
sector of the state. This proposal is not specifically intended to
protect the environment or reduce risks to human health from
environmental exposure.
The department has determined that Chapter 2007 of the Texas
Government Code does not apply to this proposal. Accordingly,
the department is not required to complete a takings impact as-
sessment regarding this proposal.
Comments on this proposal may be submitted to Janie
Sawatsky, Driver License Division, Texas Department of
Public Safety, P.O. Box 4087 (MSC 0300), Austin, Texas
78773; by fax to (512) 424-5233; or by email to DLDrulecom-
ments@dps.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later
than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this proposal.
This rule is proposed pursuant to Texas Government Code,
411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission
to adopt rules considered necessary for carrying out the de-
partment's work, and Texas Transportation Code, 521.005,
which authorizes the department to adopt rules necessary to
administer Chapter 521 of the Texas Transportation Code.
Texas Government Code, 411.004(3) and Texas Transportation
Code, 521.121(a) are affected by this proposal.

medium which produces a retrievable visual image including, but
not limited to, film, videotape, digital or visual imagery, or any other

posal and found it to be within the state agency's legal authority
to adopt.
