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 provision that allows the department to provide information to nonprofit organizations or governmental or tribal entities approved by the United States Social Security Administration for the purpose of facilitating driver's license data verification. This aims to enhance the accessibility of driver's license data for legitimate verification needs while ensuring compliance with federal requirements. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
