The bill, H.B. No. 3012, proposes an amendment to Section 1001.352 of the Education Code regarding the fees charged for driving safety courses. The new legal language specifies that a driving safety provider shall charge each student a fee of at least $25 for the course. Additionally, the previous requirement for a separate fee of at least $3 for course materials and for supervising and administering the course has been removed.

This change simplifies the fee structure for driving safety courses by consolidating the charges into a single fee, which is intended to streamline the process for both providers and students. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
