The governor has 10 days once a bill is sent to his office to sign, veto, or allow it to become law without his signature....unless it is within 10 days of final adjournment. In which case, the governor has 20 days to sign, veto, or allow it to become law without his signature.

Wife would like to get her license, but wants to save some money.
Take class anytime between now and September.
Apply for LTC on DPS website 9/1/17.
Save $100.
That is what I'm harassing....I mean encouraging my brothers to do. :fire

According to another thread on this board, the amendment reduces the cost even further, to $15 - http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/ ... 016H21.PDF
411.1991 pertains to current peace officers. Their current fee was $25. This amendment allows the department to waive the fee for them.

I think we're just waiting on Gov. Abbot's signature to make it "official".

infoman wrote:One last question? Assuming this bill passes, it will create a giant volume increase & likewise hudge backlog in processing. If the costs are all waived, who's paying for all the DPS costs to function a massive increase in an already swamped department? would taxes be effected in any way? Just trying to get a good understanding. I guess I'm wondering where will the funds come from?
The fees today do not go to DPS. So I would assume the funding would come from the same source it comes from today.
