Bill > HF2110

This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue driver's licenses (DL) and nonoperator's identification cards (ID cards) that do not comply with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005 if an applicant requests one, meaning these state-issued IDs would not meet federal standards for certain official purposes like boarding airplanes or entering federal buildings. The bill also mandates that these non-compliant IDs be issued in physical form only, prohibits the DOT from collecting or storing biometric identifiers like facial images or fingerprints for these cards, and prevents the DOT from retaining or sharing applicant documents or information in multistate, federal, or international databases. The DOT must inform applicants that they can opt for a federally noncompliant ID, and employees will receive annual training on these provisions, facing disciplinary action for willful violations. Furthermore, if federal regulations change to prohibit non-compliant IDs or if the REAL ID Act is repealed, the DOT must immediately stop issuing REAL ID-compliant identification.
