Just curious, did you have to resubmit any veteran info? I just renewed my DL on line and it already knew I was a disabled veteran.Rhino1 wrote:I filed for renewal less than two weeks ago (as soon as I entered the six month window). I'm a veteran so HB16 doesn't impact me but I suspect a number of people who are up for renewal OR are doing the initial, are waiting until Sept 1. I hope you can get it within 60 days if apply after Sept 1.
BTW, DPS website shows all my requirements were complete. Hope to see plastic soon.

SECTION 6. Section 411.195, Government Code, is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 411.195. REDUCTION OF CERTAIN FEES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, if an applicant for the license is 60 years of age or older, the department shall reduce by:
(1) 50 percent any fee required for the issuance of a duplicate or modified license under this subchapter; and
(2) $5 any fee required for the issuance of a renewed license under this subchapter [if the applicant for the license is 60 years of age or older].
$35 It says "shall reduce by $5" ($40-$5=$35 same as before, just worded differently)

Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees
Who would have thought that? Geeze, links to the text of the bills are posted several places include in this thread.Soccerdad1995 wrote: I think he meant that the 61st (and all subsequent) person to renew each year gets the lower rate.
So to clarify - the renewal fee for those people who ore over 60 years of age is $35. That remains unchanged from prior to this bill.

Unless I missed something it did not change the renewal fee for the elderly.Oldgringo wrote:No fees will allow/prompt Mr. and Mrs. Oldgringo, and perhaps other elderly folk, to renew their LTC's. Lord willin'.

Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees
After reading the latest text, what is the status of the honorably discharged veteran fee? I did not see it mentioned.
