Bill > HB4194

This bill amends a 2008 law concerning enhanced driver licenses and state personal identification cards, which are special IDs that allow U.S. citizens residing in Michigan to travel between the United States and Canada. The changes primarily update how information is handled for these enhanced IDs, including the applicant's facial image and signature, and clarify that Social Security numbers and communication impediment designations will not be displayed on the face of the card. It also specifies how the Secretary of State can share applicant information with law enforcement agencies and other government entities, while generally exempting retained documents from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The bill also ensures that applicants can opt out of using the application for voter registration and allows for the cancellation or revocation of a voluntarily provided communication impediment designation, with notice and an opportunity to be heard for the cardholder. This bill is tied to another legislative proposal, House Bill 4193 of the 102nd Legislature, meaning it will only become law if that other bill is also enacted.
