Bill Summary
Limited-duration licenses, driver privilege cards and permits, and identification privilege cards; expiration. Extends the validity of limited-duration licenses, driver privilege cards and permits, and identification privilege cards, other than REAL ID credentials and commercial driver's licenses and permits, to a period of time consistent with the validity of driver's licenses, which, under current law, is a period not to exceed eight years or, for a person age 75 or older, a period not to exceed five years, and permits and special identification cards. The bill aligns requirements for eligibility for limited-duration commercial driver's licenses and permits and REAL ID-compliant limited-duration commercial driver's licenses with federal requirements and clarifies the validity periods for such documents. The bill directs the Department of Motor Vehicles to implement the extended validity periods for limited-duration licenses, driver privilege cards, or permits upon renewal or reissuance.
AI Summary
This bill extends the expiration periods for several types of identification and driving-related documents issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), excluding REAL ID credentials, which are federal identification standards. Specifically, limited-duration licenses, driver privilege cards, and permits will now have validity periods consistent with regular driver's licenses, which can be up to eight years (or five years for those 75 and older). Motorcycle permits will be valid for 12 months, and permits for individuals 25 and older will be valid until 60 days before their first behind-the-wheel exam. Identification privilege cards will also have extended validity, generally between three and eight years, with specific provisions for those under 15. The DMV is directed to implement these longer validity periods upon the reissuance or renewal of these documents.
