A bill to regulate relying parties; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
Senate Bill No. 894 is legislation aimed at regulating the interaction between entities (relying parties) and mobile licenses. This bill sets forth specific responsibilities for these relying parties, including:
Requesting only necessary data elements from the license holder. Informing license holders about how their data will be used and retained. Obtaining explicit consent from license holders for the release and retention of their data. Cryptographically authenticating mobile licenses to ensure their validity. Adhering to existing privacy laws in the handling of license holder data. The bill defines several key terms, such as "data elements," "department," "holder," and the types of mobile licenses, including mobile enhanced driver licenses and official state personal identification cards. It also establishes prohibitions for relying parties, such as forbidding them from asking license holders to relinquish possession of their mobile devices, conducting searches of the devices, or requiring mobile licenses for transactions not legally mandated to require such identification.
Furthermore, the presentation of a mobile license by a holder does not grant the relying party consent to access other data or applications on the holder's mobile device.
The enactment of Senate Bill No. 894 is contingent upon the simultaneous enactment of three related bills: Senate Bills 459, 460, and 461. This condition underscores the interconnected nature of this legislative package aimed at regulating mobile licenses and their use within Michigan.
