Facilitating compliance with the federal REAL ID act by modifying driver's license and identicard design and fees.

Summary

  • Requires the Department of Licensing (DOL) to mark standard driver's licenses and identicards in accordance with federal REAL ID Act regulations to indicate that they are not acceptable for federal identification purposes.
  • Removes the requirement that the DOL provide formal certification that it has met certain conditions related to its driver's license and identicard procedures to proceed with specified components of REAL ID Act compliance.
  • Removes the restriction on state agencies and programs that prohibits the expenditure of funds to implement or comply with the REAL ID Act unless certain conditions are satisfied.
  • Reduces the fee for a full-term enhanced driver's license and an enhanced identicard from $108 to $90 for four years.
