AI Summary
This bill authorizes the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue limited purpose driver's licenses. These licenses do not require applicants to establish legal presence in the United States at the time of application. The limited purpose licenses can be used as legal identification, but they will state "Not valid for official federal purposes" on the card. The bill also requires the DMV to set reasonable regulations for acceptable documentation to prove identity, age, and fitness for these limited licenses. Additionally, the bill prohibits the DMV from using the limited licenses or associated information as a basis for criminal investigation, arrest, or detention, and it mandates protections for the confidentiality of applicant information.
