====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Texas: Stop Discrimination Against Students Using Parent-Taught Driver Ed Programs April 9, 2007 Dear HSLDA members and friends: The House Transportation Committee, chaired by Rep. Mike Krusee, will hear testimony Tuesday, April 10, on HB 2628 by Rep. Tony Goolsby. This bill would allow driving schools to enable their students to avoid the highway sign and traffic law parts of the written test at a Driver License office by stating that the applicant has already passed the test under the supervision of the driving school. The bill discriminates against parent-taught driver education courses by not allowing those students to receive the same treatment. Parent-taught driver education students currently receive the same waiver for the road test as do students of driving schools. REQUESTED ACTION Please call as many members of the House Transportation Committee as you can and ask them to vote against HB 2628 unless it is amended to allow equal treatment for students using parent-taught driver education programs. Give some of these talking points as reasons for your position. Members of the House Transportation Committee: Chair Mike Krusee, (512) 463-0670 Vice Chair Larry Phillips, (512) 463-0297 Linda Harper-Brown, (512) 463-0641 Joe Deshotel, (512) 463-0662 Pat Haggerty, (512) 463-0728 Patricia Harless, (512) 463-0496 Fred Hill, (512) 463-0486 Nathan Macias, (512) 463-0325 Jim Murphy, (512) 463-0514 Sincerely, Christopher J. Klicka Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> "I saved my entire membership fee with one discount" "When I called Liberty to find out what kind of discount we could get, they told us we would 10% off our car insurance and 5% off our homeowner's insurance. What we will save is more than double what it costs to join HSLDA. With one child getting his driver's license this year, the savings will be a real blessing!"
