Senate Fiscal Agency Analysis

Generally, the bills would allow the Secretary of State (SOS) to issue a mobile driver's license or State identification card upon an individual's request. They would apply current requirements and expirations of physical driver's licenses and State identification cards to the proposed mobile versions. They also would prescribe a $4 fee for an original or renewal mobile driver's license or identification card. To implement these mobile versions, the SOS would have to develop, or contract for the development of, a mobile license system that met specified security and operation requirements. The bills also would create the Mobile License Fund within the State Treasury and require the SOS to use the Fund to cover the bills' necessary administrative and implementation costs.
