SB 15—Need for a Different Approach

SB 15’s development took the approach of deleting all authorized uses and users and inserting back in those that made a successful case for inclusion. The resulting bill still leaves out many needed uses and users. It has rewritten some sections in ways that are subject to a variety of new interpretations and unintended consequences. This is likely to result in years of revisions to the list. It prevents Texas businesses from buying the services they need to deliver the benefits we have listed above. The bill bans these value-added services as a prohibited resale of driver and vehicle data.
