AI Summary
This bill modifies provisions related to identification cards and driver's licenses in Illinois, primarily focusing on changes to documentation requirements and information sharing restrictions. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously allowed the Secretary of State to accept certain alternative documents (like passports or consular identification) for applicants without a social security number or federal immigration documentation. It eliminates provisions that restricted sharing personal information with immigration agents, including requirements that information-sharing agreements include certifications about non-use for immigration enforcement purposes. The bill changes definitions of "Limited Term REAL ID compliant" identification cards and driver's licenses, removing specific references to asylum seekers and refugees. These modifications effectively reduce protections for undocumented individuals and immigrants by making it more challenging to obtain identification and limiting restrictions on information disclosure. The changes affect both the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code, streamlining documentation requirements and removing previous safeguards against potential immigration enforcement actions.
