AI Summary
This bill establishes a framework for digital driver's licenses and identification cards in Kansas, creating a new optional electronic credentialing system. The bill defines key terms such as "digital proof of driver's license" as a license viewable on an electronic system and establishes strict regulations for its implementation. The Division of Vehicles may contract with public or private entities to develop this system, with stringent data protection requirements, including prohibiting the sharing or selling of personal information and mandating data deletion within 30 days of contract termination. The digital credentials will have limited profile options and can only be issued to individuals who already possess a physical driver's license or identification card. The bill includes robust privacy protections, such as preventing unauthorized scanning or sharing of personal information without explicit consent, and requiring clear disclosure about data collection. Additionally, the legislation establishes penalties for creating or possessing false digital credentials, with violations ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. The digital proof of license or identification card is optional, supplemental to physical documents, and will cost $10 to obtain. Importantly, the digital credentials cannot be used for certain purposes like voting or driving, and they must meet high security standards to prevent interception or fraud.
