Compliance Analysis

Key implementation requirements and action items for compliance with this legislation

Implementation Timeline

Effective Date: September 1, 2025
Compliance Deadline: September 1, 2025 (Enforcement and billing systems must recognize the new plate class on this date).
Agency Rulemaking: The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) must design the DPO plate and application forms prior to the effective date. Toll authorities (state and local) must formally adopt policies defining the specific "free or discounted" rate for these vehicles before September 1, 2025.

Immediate Action Plan

1. LEAs: Draft an internal policy immediately for reviewing personnel files to verify "line of duty" injuries for retired/separated officers requesting certification.
2. Parking Operators: Update enforcement manuals to include the "Disabled Peace Officer" plate as a valid permit for disabled stalls and fee exemptions at government meters.
3. Toll Authorities: Convene board meetings prior to Q3 2025 to formally adopt the specific discount percentage for DPO plates and program billing systems accordingly.
4. Property Managers: Issue a memo to towing vendors explicitly listing the DPO plate as a "Do Not Tow" category for disabled space violations unless specific fraud is evident.

Operational Changes Required

Contracts

Parking Management Vendors: Municipalities and private operators managing government lots must amend agreements with enforcement vendors (e.g., SP+, LAZ) to explicitly prohibit ticketing or towing vehicles displaying DPO plates for unpaid meters.
Toll Technology Providers: Contracts with back-office toll processors and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) vendors must be updated to include the DPO plate class in the "Exempt" or "Discounted" billing logic.
Towing Operators: Review indemnity clauses. Property owners face heightened liability for wrongful removal of these vehicles; contracts should require tow drivers to visually verify plate types against the new DPO standard before hooking a vehicle.

Hiring/Training

Law Enforcement HR: Personnel departments must train staff to validate historical "line of duty" injury records before the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) signs certification forms.
Parking Enforcement: Frontline staff must be trained to recognize the DPO plate design. Crucially, they must be instructed that these vehicles are exempt from government meter fees and authorized for disabled parking spots even if the plate lacks the International Symbol of Access, provided the registration is valid.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

Law Enforcement Agencies: Must retain copies of all CLEO certifications issued to former officers. These records serve as the primary validation document if the officer's eligibility is later challenged.
TxDMV: Will require two specific documents for issuance: a physician’s statement of substantial impairment and the CLEO’s statement of line-of-duty injury.

Fees & Costs

Registration Revenue: The standard registration fee is waived; the officer pays only a $3.00 specialty plate fee.
Toll Revenue: Toll authorities must budget for revenue loss on these accounts. The law mandates inclusion in a discount program but allows the entity to determine if the passage is free or merely discounted.
Parking Revenue: Municipalities will lose meter revenue from these vehicles; this cannot be recouped through ticketing.

Strategic Ambiguities & Considerations

The "Missing Symbol" Risk: The statute allows DPO plates to be issued *without* the printed International Symbol of Access (wheelchair icon) at the applicant's request. This creates a high risk of wrongful enforcement where a parking officer tickets a DPO vehicle in a disabled spot because they do not see the icon. Rulemaking Watch: Monitor TxDMV design rules to see if a separate placard will be mandated for plates without the symbol.
"Free or Discounted" Tolls: The law is vague on the discount amount. It requires "free *or* discounted" use. Toll entities have the discretion to set this rate anywhere from 1% to 100% off. Operators must define this rate clearly in their administrative rules to avoid class-action disputes.

	As Filed

AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

Since 1949, Texas has issued specialty license plates for disabled veterans to recognize their service and provide certain benefits such as parking privileges, free or discounted toll road access, and registration fee exemptions. Eligible veterans may receive one disabled veteran license plate for a $3 annual specialty plate fee. Additional sets of DV plates may be obtained, but standard registration and local fees apply.

S.B. 2001 establishes a similar specialty plate to honor and provide benefits for Texas peace officers who were permanently disabled in the line of duty.

This bill allows disabled peace officers to apply for and receive a specialty plate. A specialty plate would allow an officer to register one personal vehicle without paying standard registration fees, receive free or discounted use of toll roads and, if eligible, receive disabled parking privileges.

As proposed, S.B. 2001 amends current law relating to the registration of vehicles, the issuance of disabled parking placards, and certain benefits associated with that registration or issuance for certain peace officers with disabilities and authorizes a fee.

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.

LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 89TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


April 15, 2025

TO:	Honorable Robert Nichols, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	SB2001 by King (Relating to the registration of vehicles, the issuance of disabled parking placards, and certain benefits associated with that registration or issuance for certain peace officers with disabilities; authorizing a fee.), As Introduced

Because the number of eligible peace officers that would opt to register a vehicle with the disabled peace officer specialty license plates created by the bill, without payment of other vehicle registration fees and would be exempt from payment of parking fees at certain governmental facilities is unknown, the fiscal implications to the State cannot be determined at this time.

The bill would require the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to issue new specialty license plates for qualifying disabled peace officers and establish a fee of $3.00 for the first set of license plates. The bill would authorize a person entitled to these specialty license plates to register one vehicle without payment of any fee paid for at the time of registration other than the fee for the specialty plates. The bill would provide an exemption from the payment of a parking meter fee charged by a governmental entity other than the federal government for parking a vehicle registered with the new specialty license plates. The bill would specify that a toll project entity, including local toll project entities and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), that offers a discount program for electronic toll collection customers must include free or discounted use of the entity's toll project by an electronic toll collection customer whose account relates to a vehicle registered with the new specialty plate. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2025.

The bill would authorize an eligible person to register one vehicle with a set of the new specialty license plates for a fee of $3.00 and without payment of the regular vehicle registration fees. For each eligible vehicle registration, TxDMV estimates revenue losses of $50.75 from the base registration fee (allocated 95.0% to the State Highway Fund and 5.0% to the counties); revenue losses from registration processing and handling fees ($1.50–$2.45 to the TxDMV Fund No. 10 and $0.25–$2.30 to the counties); and losses of local revenue for optional county fees assessed at the time of registration. These revenue losses would be offset by the $3.00 specialty plate fee deposited to the TxDMV Fund No. 10.

Because the number of peace officers that are disabled due to an injury suffered while on-duty that would be eligible for and opt to register a vehicle with a set of the new disabled peace officer specialty license plates is unknown, the resulting impact to state and local registration fee revenue cannot be determined.

Based on information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.

Based on the analysis provided by the Comptroller's office, the number of instances and duration of time for which an eligible vehicle would park at a parking meter – either private or municipally owned – and the associated parking fees that such a vehicle would be exempted from are unknown. Therefore, the resultant decline in fee revenue and Chapter 151, Tax Code (Limited Sales, Excise, and Use Tax) revenue cannot be determined.

Based on information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed costs associated with implementation of a toll customer discount program under the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.

It is assumed that any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.

Local Government Impact

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.

It is assumed that any fiscal impact to units of local government associated with enforcement, prosecution, supervision, or confinement would not be significant.
