 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 AN ACT
 relating to the use of a concealed handgun license as valid proof of
 personal identification.
 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Subtitle A, Title 11, Business & Commerce Code,
 is amended by adding Chapter 506 to read as follows:
 CHAPTER 506.  CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSES AS VALID FORMS OF
 PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION
 Sec. 506.001.  CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSE AS VALID PROOF OF
 IDENTIFICATION.  (a)  A person may not deny the holder of a
 concealed handgun license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411,
 Government Code, access to goods, services, or facilities, except
 as provided by Section 521.460, Transportation Code, or in regard
 to the operation of a motor vehicle, because the holder has or
 presents a concealed handgun license rather than a driver's license
 or other acceptable form of personal identification.
 (b)  This section does not affect:
 (1)  the requirement under Section 411.205, Government
 Code, that a person subject to that section present a driver's
 license or identification certificate in addition to a concealed
 handgun license; or
 (2)  the types of identification required under federal
 law to access airport premises or pass through airport security.
 SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
