Bill > HF2615

This bill extends the expiration dates for driver's licenses and identification cards from four to eight years and increases various associated fees. Specifically, driver's licenses and identification cards will now expire on the holder's birthday in the eighth year after issuance, instead of the fourth year. The bill raises fees across multiple license and identification card categories, with examples including increasing the standard driver's license fee from $27.75 to $55.50 and the motorcycle endorsement fee from $26.50 to $43.50. Filing fees for license agents will also increase, from $16 to $27 for new applications and from $11 to $22 for renewals. Under-21 licenses and identification cards will continue to expire on the holder's 21st birthday, and special provisions remain in place for individuals with temporary lawful status. The bill also increases some surcharges and optional donation amounts, such as raising the anatomical gift donation from $2 to $4. These changes will take effect on August 1, 2025, and apply to new and renewal applications submitted on or after that date, giving the Department of Public Safety time to prepare for the implementation of these changes.
