AI Summary

This bill requires the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to accept certain documents, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, social security card, divorce decree, or court order, as proof of a name change for the purpose of obtaining or updating a driver's license. The bill also requires individuals to notify the chief administrator of the MVC of any legal name changes within six months or upon the next renewal of their driver's license, whichever is sooner. Failure to notify the MVC of a name change may result in a fine, but the individual will not be subject to a surcharge under the Motor Vehicle Violations Surcharge System.
