Bill > HB0030

This bill makes several revisions to Wyoming's driver's license and identification card laws. It clarifies the timeline for contested case hearings related to license suspensions, ensuring that hearings must be scheduled within 45 days of receiving a certified record and providing a remedy if not. The bill introduces a $20 fee for replacement licenses and establishes new conditions for issuing replacements, such as requiring the original license to have more than one year until expiration and the department having a digitized photo and signature on file. For individuals under 21, the bill modifies license expiration rules, removing the previous notification requirement and changing how licenses expire when the holder turns 21. The bill also updates identification card language, replacing the detailed description with a simpler "FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY" statement. Additionally, the bill repeals some obsolete provisions and grants the Department of Transportation rulemaking authority. Most provisions will become effective on January 1, 2026, with some sections taking effect immediately upon the bill becoming law.
