This bill, titled the "Freedom to Drive Act," aims to increase access to government-issued identification and driving authorization for state residents through the creation of state driving cards and identification cards. The key provisions include: 1. Expanding the definition of "license" to include the new state-issued driving cards. 2. Establishing requirements and procedures for applying for and obtaining these driving cards, including submission of valid identification and residency documents. 3. Specifying the design and features of the driving cards, including the ability for applicants to designate their gender identity as 'male,' 'female,' or 'X.' 4. Prohibiting discrimination against individuals based on their application for or possession of a driving card. 5. Restricting the use of information collected for driving card applications and limiting disclosure of such information. 6. Creating a similar process and requirements for state-issued identification cards for non-citizens. 7. Revising the fees for various driver's licenses, permits, and the new driving cards. Overall, this bill seeks to provide more access to driving authorization and government-issued ID for all state residents, including those who may not be eligible for a traditional driver's license.
