The bill, H.B. No. 3238, proposes an amendment to the Transportation Code regarding the optional designation of health conditions or disabilities on driver's licenses and personal identification certificates. Specifically, it adds a new subsection (c) to Section 521.1251, allowing individuals to choose to include a designation of "COMMUNICATION IMPEDIMENT" or another distinctive symbol authorized by department rule on their identification documents. This aims to enhance awareness and support for individuals with communication challenges.

Additionally, the bill expresses the intent of the 89th Legislature to ensure that this amendment aligns with other nonsubstantive changes made during the same legislative session. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
