This bill amends the Enhanced Driver License and Enhanced Official State Personal Identification Card Act by updating Section 5, which outlines the requirements and procedures for applying for and issuing these enhanced identification documents. The key provisions include: - Specifying the information and documentation applicants must provide, such as proof of U.S. citizenship, legal name, date of birth, address, and Social Security number. - Allowing the Secretary of State to capture and use applicants' facial images and signatures for law enforcement and other authorized purposes. - Prohibiting the Secretary of State from disclosing individuals' Social Security numbers or other personal information on the face of the cards. - Granting the Secretary of State the authority to examine, verify, and reject applications if necessary. - Requiring the retention of copies or digital images of documents provided by applicants. - Enabling applicants to indicate if they decline to use the application as a voter registration form. - Allowing applicants to elect a communication impediment designation on their cards, which can be canceled or revoked by the Secretary of State under certain circumstances. The bill's enactment is tied to the passage of another related legislative measure, Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5380.
