This bill amends existing laws regarding the sharing of driver's license data by the Department of Administration in Alaska, specifically for data verification purposes. It removes the reference to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators in the context of data sharing compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005. The bill clarifies that the department may only convey data to private entities as necessary to comply with specific provisions, rather than any scanned or stored documents previously collected.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that mandates the department to provide information about individuals to approved nonprofit organizations or governmental or tribal entities, upon request, to assist with driver's license data verification. This new provision aims to facilitate the verification process while ensuring that the data shared is limited to what is necessary for compliance with federal requirements. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
