Senate Committee Substitute

SCS/SBs 37 & 244 - This act allows the Department of Revenue to amend procedures for applying for a driver's license or identification card in order to comply with the goals or standards of the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. The act requires the Department to inform applicants of the option of being issued a REAL ID driver's license or identification card or nonREAL ID driver's license or identification card. The Department shall issue a nonREAL ID driver's license or identification card to those individuals who object to being issued a REAL ID compliant license or card and shall not retain the source documents of such individuals.

The act repeals provisions requiring the Department of Revenue to destroy by December 31, 2013, source documents obtained from driver license applicants after September 1, 2012. The act also repeals a provision prohibiting the Department of Revenue from retaining certificates of qualification for concealed carry endorsements.

This act contains an emergency clause and is similar to SB 902 (2016) and to provisions in HCS/HB 361 (2009).
