AI Summary
This bill removes the requirement for individuals to prove citizenship or legal presence in the United States when obtaining a state identification card in Michigan. The bill modifies existing state law by eliminating provisions that previously required non-U.S. citizens to provide documentation verifying their legal status in the country. Specifically, the bill changes the definition of "resident" to state that an individual's citizenship or immigration status must not be considered when determining state residency. The bill also removes language requiring applicants to provide documents demonstrating legal presence in the United States and deletes sections that outlined restrictions on identification card issuance for non-citizens. Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to language throughout the existing law, such as updating gender-specific pronouns to gender-neutral terms and making minor grammatical adjustments. The changes will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law, which would make state identification cards more accessible to a broader range of individuals regardless of their citizenship or immigration status.
