Requires licenses to carry a handgun issued to non-citizens to have a substantially different design and to display the word 'NONCITIZEN' on both sides, creating a visible distinction from citizen licenses.
In adopting the form of a license under Section 411.179(a), the department shall ensure that a license issued to a person who is not a citizen of the United States: (1) has a substantially different design from a license issued to a person who is a citizen; and (2) displays the word "NONCITIZEN" on both the front and back of the license.
Requires personal identification certificates and driver's licenses issued to non-citizens to have a substantially different design and to display the word 'NONCITIZEN' on both sides, creating a visible distinction from citizen documents.
A personal identification certificate issued to a person who is not a citizen of the United States must: (1) have a substantially different design from a personal identification certificate issued to a person who is a citizen; and (2) display the word "NONCITIZEN" on both the front and back of the certificate.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires distinct designs and 'NONCITIZEN' markings on handgun carry licenses (firearms/other, neutral as it changes appearance without altering access or restrictions), personal ID certificates, and driver's licenses for non-citizens (transgender/id-documents by analogy to marking/identifying status on official documents, which restricts by imposing a visible differentiator that could limit recognition or access). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
