AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to create a program that allows the Secretary of State to issue official state personal identification cards to parolees before their release. Specifically, starting January 1, 2026, the Secretary of State will be able to issue an ID to a prisoner if they receive the prisoner's application, photograph, and projected release date from the Department of Corrections. The ID will then be delivered to the Department of Corrections before the prisoner's release or mailed if immediate delivery isn't possible and the prisoner has already been released. The bill also makes minor changes, such as updating "sex" to "gender" on the application and clarifying language related to legal presence in the United States and the REAL ID Act.
