Bill Summary
Relating to the establishment of a program for the issuance of digital identification.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a program in Texas for the issuance of digital identification, including digital driver's licenses, personal identification certificates, handgun licenses, and hunting or fishing licenses. The Texas Department of Public Safety, in consultation with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, is tasked with developing the digital identification program, which must include features like authentication and verification processes and the ability to be used regardless of wireless connectivity. The bill prohibits the department from charging a fee for the digital identification and requires the physical version of the identification to still be issued. Additionally, the bill states that the digital identification cannot be used for voting purposes.
