A Texas lawmaker has authored a bill that would require photographs and names on Lone Star cards to help fight fraud.
Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) filed HB 1250 on Jan. 31.
The bill requires that the name and photograph of the recipient or other authorized person must be on the front of the card.
The card also must show the words “Fraud Hotline” followed by the hotline’s phone number and the website where recipients can report fraud.
