Bill > AB1151

This bill modifies rules for identification cards issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), focusing primarily on senior citizens aged 62 and older. Currently, the DMV can issue identification cards that verify a person's name, age, and other identifying information. The bill requires the DMV to modify its forms for driver's license cancellation or surrender to include a streamlined process for seniors to obtain an identification card. Specifically, seniors will now be able to apply for an identification card using the same form they use to cancel or surrender their driver's license, and the resulting ID will be marked with the notation "Senior Citizen". The bill also clarifies that a person cannot simultaneously hold a Real ID identification card and a Real ID driver's license, and introduces a mechanism for the DMV to cancel an identification card to ensure compliance with this rule. Additionally, the bill removes a previous legislative statement of intent regarding driver's license renewals, suggesting that this intent will be addressed through separate legislation.
