A bill to amend 1972 PA 222, entitled “An act to provide for an official personal identification card; to provide for its form, issuance and use; to regulate the use and disclosure of information obtained from the card; to prescribe the powers and duties of the secretary of state; to prescribe fees; to prescribe certain penalties for violations; and to provide an appropriation for certain purposes,” by amending section 1 (MCL 28.291), as amended by 2021 PA 105.
House Bills 4191 to 4194 would amend different acts to require the Department of Corrections to apply for a driver’s license or state personal ID card on behalf of a prisoner who is scheduled to be released from prison and to provide procedures for the secretary of state to follow in processing and, if applicable, issuing and delivering the license or card. The Department of Corrections would have to give the license or card to individuals when they are released on parole or discharged after completing their maximum sentence. As described in Fiscal Impact, below, the bills would codify current procedures followed by the Department of Corrections and secretary of state for providing state personal ID cards or driver’s licenses to offenders upon their release from prison.
