S.B. No. 2141 amends the Transportation Code to provide for the issuance of specialty license plates specifically for state and federal judges. The bill mandates that these license plates must include the words "State Judge" or "U.S. Judge," but it also introduces a provision allowing judges to opt for plates that do not display these titles. This change aims to offer judges more flexibility regarding the visibility of their professional status on their vehicles.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "state judge" to include various judicial positions, such as justices of the supreme court, judges of the court of criminal appeals, and district court judges, among others. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Transportation Code 504.403 (Transportation Code 504)
