Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who wishes to receive a driver's license or an
identification card from the Department of Transportation (DOT) must provide
certain information to DOT, including the person's name, address, date of birth, and
physically descriptive information. A license or an identification card that is issued
by DOT includes a picture of the person, identifying information, the person's
signature, and physically descriptive information.
Under this bill, an applicant for a driver's license or identification card who is
an alien resident of this state must present documentary proof that the person is
legally residing within the state and the date on which his or her status as a legal
alien expires. The bill requires DOT to include on the person's driver's license or
identification card the date on which the person's status as a legal alien expires.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
