The bill specifies that in an action for a violation of the crime created in the bill, the defendant shall be tried in the county where the Office of the Secretary of Safety and Professional Services is located, and the bill requires DSPS to ensure that all application forms for such credentials include a statement regarding the prohibition and penalty created in the bill.
