The bill, H.B. No. 3531, proposes an amendment to the Transportation Code by adding Section 502.013, which allows applicants for motor vehicle registration to voluntarily disclose their military status. When registering or renewing a vehicle, individuals will have the option to indicate if they are members of the United States armed forces. If they choose to disclose this information, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is required to include the individual's military status in their vehicle registration records and in any related information released by the department.

This legislation aims to recognize and document the military status of vehicle registrants, potentially providing benefits or considerations for service members. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
