S.B. No. 2007 introduces a new provision to the Texas Transportation Code, specifically adding Section 502.013, which allows applicants for motor vehicle registration to voluntarily disclose their military status. Under this new section, when individuals register or renew their vehicle registration, they will have the option to indicate if they are members of the United States armed forces. If they choose to disclose this information, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is required to include their military status in the vehicle registration records and in any related information released by the department.

The bill aims to recognize and document the military status of vehicle registrants, potentially facilitating benefits or services for military personnel. The new law will take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and House with unanimous support.
