H.B. No. 2522 amends the Transportation Code by adding Section 503.0292, which establishes new fingerprinting requirements for individuals applying for or holding a dealer general distinguishing number for 75 or more locations. The bill stipulates that the Texas Department of Transportation may require these applicants to submit a complete set of fingerprints for an original or renewal dealer general distinguishing number. However, this requirement is limited to one manager or bona fide employee per location, provided that their regular place of work is within 100 miles of the location for which the dealer number is being applied.

The legislation aims to streamline the fingerprinting process by allowing a single set of fingerprints from one manager or employee to satisfy the requirements for all locations within the specified distance. This change is intended to reduce the administrative burden on large dealers while maintaining necessary oversight. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
