SB 5008: REAL ID compliance

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, and to adopt rules necessary to implement this change.
  • Prohibits the use of a standard driver's license or identicard as evidence of or as a basis to infer an individual's citizenship or immigration status.
  • Prohibits the use of a person's standard driver's license or identicard as a basis for the criminal investigation, arrest, or detention of that person where the person otherwise would not be criminally investigated, arrested, or detained.
  • Reduces the fee for a full-term enhanced driver's license and an enhanced identicard from $108 to $78.
  • 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.
