Are there legislative requirements for how certain entities fund their online services?
SB 187 requires DIR to charge a subscription fee to certain state licensing agencies that participate in TexasOnline. The subscription fee is intended to cover the cost of implementation of online licensing services. Each participating licensing agency is required to increase their occupational license renewal fees for their entire licensee population in order to cover the cost of the subscription fee. The fee cannot exceed $5 for annually renewed or $10 for biennially renewed licenses.
