The focal point for Texas firearms information and discussions

I think it was primarily aimed at driver's licenses with LTC along for the ride so that's why you don't see it on the firearm bills list.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 4:10 pm Here's the list of new firearms laws set to go into effect on 9/1. I don't see that one listed.

. H.B. 1078 Signed by the Governor and scheduled to go into effect Sept. 1, 2019 is not being implemented. This bill would have waived the fees for new Drivers License or LTC applications and renewals if the applicant possessed a current CPR Certification. Part of the public preparedness campaign
So, the RSD can selectively choose which laws to obey and which to ignore?. The bill requires DPS waive the license fees for holders of CPR certifications only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. However, funding was not appropriated for this purpose. For this reason, the Department will not implement HB 1078 at this time.

If passed, it would have given every nurse, MD, EMT, Paramed, Fireman and many LE a 1/2 free DL, in addition to everyone who went for their card, "just because." CPR cards are good for 2 years, so SoT is losing fees on all certified people for 1/2 of the period between DL renewals, which is a chunk of change.
Guess I'll be the dissenting voice and say it doesn't bother me. You're either, "in it," or you're not. If you can initiate effective care (CPR, BLS/Trauma Life Support) on-demand, it probably isn't because the State is giving you a freebie, and the ya-hoos who get their cards for the freebie are statistically more likely to get in the way than be of meaningful assistance.
Does not apply to anyone who is required to have the CPR card for their job which includes many of the people you listed above.(2) is not required to hold the certification described by Subdivision (1) as a condition of obtaining or maintaining employment or an occupational license.
