S.B. No. 2007 introduces a new provision to the Texas Transportation Code, specifically adding Section 502.013, which allows applicants registering or renewing the registration of a motor vehicle to voluntarily disclose their military status. Under this new section, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is required to provide individuals with the option to indicate if they are members of the United States armed forces during the registration process.

If an applicant chooses to disclose their military status, the department must include this information in its vehicle registration records and ensure that it is reflected in any records released regarding the vehicle. This bill aims to recognize and document the military status of vehicle owners, potentially facilitating access to benefits or services for military personnel. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
