Amend CSHB 3588 by adding the following appropriately 
numbered SECTION:    
	SECTION ____.  Subchapter E, Chapter 548, Transportation 
Code, is amended by adding Section 548.257 to read as follows:
	Sec. 548.257.  LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATE.  (a)  
If an inspection certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed during 
the period during which the certificate is valid, the vehicle must 
be reinspected and any applicable fee paid before a new certificate 
is issued, except that the vehicle is not subject to any emissions 
inspection.  The replacement certificate is valid for the remaining 
period of validity of the original certificate.

establishing that:
(1)  the certificate has been lost, stolen, or 
destroyed; and          
(2)  the reinspection is within the period of validity 
of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate.
	(c)  As part of its rules under Subsection (b), the 
department shall adopt measures to ensure that the reinspection 
procedure provided by this section is not used fraudulently to 
avoid any required inspection.
