Bill > SB1297

This bill modifies Tennessee's laws regarding digital driver licenses, introducing several key provisions. The bill explicitly prohibits digital driver licenses from being used for voter identification purposes, requiring physical licenses for voting. It establishes strict data protection rules, mandating that any data collected through the digital driver license system can only be retained for three calendar days and cannot be sold or shared except with law enforcement, governmental entities, or through a court subpoena. The bill also restricts the collection of biometric identifiers, allowing only photography for identity verification purposes, and prohibits capturing geolocation data related to the digital driver license system. Additionally, the legislation ensures that participation in the digital driver license program is voluntary, preventing any public or private entity from requiring digital licenses or providing preferential service based on their use. The bill further stipulates that digital driver licenses must be disabled if a physical license is suspended or cancelled, and provides that users can have their digital license removed if their electronic device is lost or stolen. These changes aim to protect personal data privacy while providing flexibility in digital identification methods.
