AI Summary

Starting January 1, 2026, upon receiving application documents, a prisoner's photograph, and their projected release date from the Department of Corrections, the Secretary of State will, to the extent possible, issue an operator's license to eligible prisoners before their release or mail it to the Department of Corrections if the prisoner has already been released.
