S.B. No. 523 amends the Transportation Code to allow certain law enforcement professionals, specifically parole officers, peace officers, probation officers, and prosecutors, to obtain a driver's license that includes an alternative to their residence address. The bill defines these roles and clarifies that the alternative address can be the office address for parole officers and probation officers, as well as specific addresses for peace officers and prosecutors.
Additionally, the bill requires that if a license holder with an alternative address changes their residence or office address, they must notify the department within 30 days. The amendments also specify the definitions of "parole officer," "peace officer," "probation officer," and "prosecutor," ensuring clarity in the application of the law. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
