This bill amends existing laws regarding the sharing of driver's license data by the Department of Administration in Alaska. It specifies that the department may not convey, distribute, or communicate any data to entities outside of the department that is not required for compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005. Notably, the bill removes the reference to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators from the list of entities to which data may be shared. Additionally, it clarifies that the department may only convey data to private entities for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of a specific section related to driver's licenses.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that mandates the department to provide information to entities approved by the United States Social Security Administration upon request, specifically to assist in driver's license data verification. This change aims to enhance the verification process while ensuring compliance with federal regulations. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
