I was working Local Control West when an Eclipse 500; taxied out to Runway 13L via Taxiway Alpha. The Eclipse 500 called ready for departure; and I responded with 'roger;' due to an aircraft exiting the runway. I then cleared the Eclipse 500 for takeoff; and I noticed they had passed the new hold short line and were close to the runway where the old short line was located. A B737 was on RADAR vectors for the ILS 13L; 9 NM of DAL on the RADAR base leg; not of my frequency. The runways and taxiways appeared to be wet due to a continuous light rain all morning. I do not believe this hold line is in accordance with published requirements.
DAL Controller described a runway incursion event involving an aircraft taxiing to Runway 13L; the reporter claimed multiple same type occurrences and the existing hold lines are problematic and need adjusting.
