A bill to amend 2008 PA 23, entitled “Enhanced driver license and enhanced official state personal identification card act,” by amending section 5 (MCL 28.305), as amended by 2021 PA 106.
The bill elaborates on the use of applicants' facial images and signatures by government agencies, the conditions under which the Secretary of State may disclose such information, and prohibits the display of Social Security numbers or communication impediment designations on the cards. Mandates the Secretary of State to verify application authenticity, allowing for the rejection of non-compliant applications, with an appeals process available. Additionally, the bill specifies the retention of applicants' documents and digital images, outlines conditions for their disclosure, and restricts the creation of databases that could be shared with foreign countries. It also allows applicants to decline using their application as a voter registration and to elect a communication impediment designation, with provisions for its cancellation or revocation.
