HB 1472 seeks to amend the Transportation Code by adding requirements for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to provide driver’s license application forms and an alternate examination in the Nepali language. These provisions include translating all relevant materials except highway sign texts, which will remain in English. The alternate examination will be available in every county and is intended to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for Nepali-speaking applicants. The act applies only to applications submitted on or after its effective date​.
