Bill > HB2835

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to further provide for the application, issuance, and renewal of driver's licenses and learner's permits. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing applicants to submit a Social Security number or taxpayer identification number on the driver's license application form. 2. Removing the requirement for non-citizens to obtain a waiver from the federal government in order to obtain a driver's license if they do not have a Social Security number. 3. Establishing privacy and confidentiality protections for personal information, such as Social Security numbers and medical information, submitted as part of a non-commercial driver's license, state ID, or learner's permit application. This information cannot be disclosed except in limited circumstances, such as in response to a lawful court order or warrant. 4. Prohibiting the use of non-commercial driver's licenses or learner's permits that do not meet federal standards for identification as evidence of a person's citizenship or immigration status or as the sole basis for investigating, arresting, or detaining a person.
