Bill > SB0619

This bill introduces a comprehensive framework for mobile driver's licenses in Michigan, allowing the Secretary of State to develop a digital licensing system. The bill defines a new type of "mobile operator's or chauffeur's license" that can be provisioned onto electronic devices, while still requiring individuals to possess a physical license when driving. The mobile license system must meet strict security and privacy standards, including encryption, data minimization, and protections against unauthorized access. Individuals can request a mobile license in addition to their physical license, and the system will allow users to control what information is shared with relying parties. The bill also establishes a Mobile License Fund to cover administrative costs, with a maximum fee of $4.00 for obtaining a mobile license. Key provisions include requirements for secure data transmission, the ability to validate licenses offline, and protections that allow users to review and control data sharing. The bill amends multiple sections of Michigan's vehicle code to integrate mobile licenses into existing licensing procedures, ensuring they have similar legal standing to traditional physical licenses while introducing modern digital security measures.
