Texas State Rep. Bill Callegari, Katy, filed House Bill 2573 to establish a motor vehicle financial responsibility program in Texas. According the House Media Services Division, HB 2573 is similar to a measure that passed the House of Representatives with widespread support in 2003 only to fall short of a deadline requirement in the Senate.
HB 2573 requires the Department of Public Safety to develop a program that will work to continually verify whether car owners have insurance coverage for their cars. The bill also requires that any program adopted by the agency ensure that the privacy of motor vehicle owners be protected.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, over 20 percent of Texas drivers carry no insurance while operating vehicles on state roads.
