Bill Summary
Background colors for licenses and permits. Requires the bureau of motor vehicles to apply a unique background color to a driver's license, a learner's permit, or an identification card issued after December 31, 2026, to an individual who: (1) is an alien with lawful status; or (2) is not registered to vote at the time of issuance.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to assign a distinct background color to driver's licenses, learner's permits, and identification cards issued after December 31, 2026, for individuals who are aliens with lawful status or who are not registered to vote at the time of issuance. The term "alien with lawful status" refers to a non-citizen who is legally permitted to be in the United States. This unique color will differentiate these cards from standard ones, and the BMV must also notify individuals with such cards if they later register to vote, informing them they are eligible for a new card without the special background color.
