Bill > SB1362

This bill amends Oklahoma law regarding driver licenses and identification cards, primarily by introducing options for both REAL ID compliant and non-compliant licenses and identification cards, and adjusting associated fees. The REAL ID Act of 2005 is a federal law that sets minimum security standards for state-issued driver licenses and identification cards to be accepted for federal purposes, such as boarding airplanes or entering federal buildings. This bill defines "REAL ID Compliant" as meeting these federal standards and "REAL ID Noncompliant" as not meeting them, with both types of cards being clearly marked. It also establishes new fee structures for obtaining or renewing these different types of licenses and identification cards, with higher fees for REAL ID compliant versions. Additionally, the bill removes previous language that prohibited the state from participating in the REAL ID Act and instead allows Oklahomans to choose between a compliant or non-compliant card, while also prohibiting the state from sharing citizens' personal or biometric data with the federal government solely due to REAL ID compliance. The bill also makes changes to the fees for replacement licenses and identification cards, and clarifies rules around holding multiple state-issued REAL ID compliant documents.
