The scanning and retention provisions of the act shall not apply to documents required to be retained under federal motor carrier regulations.

The act further requires the Department of Revenue, by December 31, 2013, to securely destroy any source documents that have been obtained from driver's license or nondriver's license applicants after September 1, 2012.

Under the act, the department of revenue shall indemnify and hold harmless any fee office from all costs, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fee expenses, incurred by the fee office for defending a legal action brought against the fee office for an alleged violation of section 302.183.

The act defines "source documents" as original or certified copies of documents presented by an applicant as required under federal law to the Department of Revenue to apply for a driver's license or nondriver's license. Source documents shall also include any documents required for the issuance, renewal, or replacement of driver's licenses or nondriver's licenses by the Department of Revenue.

Under current law, biometric data previously collected or retained in connection with motor vehicle registrations, driver's licenses, and nondriver's licenses must be deleted from all state databases. This purging provision, however, does not apply to any data collected, obtained, or retained for a purpose other than compliance with the federal REAL ID Act. This act removes this qualifier so that the purging of state databases applies to all biometric data collected, obtained, or retained in connection with motor vehicle registrations, driver's licenses, and nondriver's licenses.

Under this act, the Department of Revenue shall not use, collect, obtain, share, or retain biometric data nor shall the department use biometric technology, including, but not limited to, retinal scanning, facial recognition or fingerprint technology, to produce a driver's license or nondriver's license or to uniquely identify licensees or license applicants for whatever purpose. The act shall not apply to digital images nor licensee signatures that are required for the issuance of driver's licenses and nondriver's license.

CONCEALED CARRY - Under current law, a person seeking to carry concealed firearms must apply to the sheriff for a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement. Upon the issuance of the certificate, the person must then present the certificate to the Department of Revenue, which issues a driver's licenses or nondriver's licenses with a concealed carry endorsement.

This act repeals the provisions requiring the person to present the certificate to the Department of Revenue for a driver's license or nondriver's license with a concealed carry endorsement. Instead, the permit issued by the sheriff authorizes the person to carry concealed firearms. Under this amendment, the concealed carry permit must contain the holder's name, address, date of birth, gender, height, weight, color of hair, color of eyes, the signatures of the holder and the sheriff issuing the permit, the date of issuance and the expiration date. When asked by a police officer, the concealed carry permit holder must display the permit and a government-issued photo identification.

Any holder of a valid concealed carry endorsement that was issued prior to August 28, 2013, may continue to use the endorsement to carry concealed firearms until the endorsement expires, which occurs under current law three years after the issuance of the certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement.

This act chances the concealed carry permit period from three years to five years.

This act requires state agencies to destroy documents or records, including fingerprint records, provided by an applicant for a concealed carry endorsement prior to August 28, 2013.

WW I MEMORIAL TRUST FUND - Under this act, the director of the Department of Revenue will no longer collect the $10 voluntary contribution made by military license plate applicants to the WW II Memorial Trust Fund.

Under the act, whenever a vehicle owner makes an application for a military license plate, the director shall notify the applicant that he or she may make a $10 donation to the World War I Memorial Trust Fund, which is established by the act. The trust fund shall be used for the sole purpose of funding the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City and shall be administered by the Missouri Veteran's Commission (Sections 301.3031 and 301.3033).

This act contains an emergency clause for certain provisions.
