The proposed bill would amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by introducing provisions that allow applicants who are enrolled members of an Indian tribe to have a distinguishing mark on their driver licenses and nonoperating identification licenses, identifying them as Native American. This new language would be inserted into Sections 28-3165 and 28-3166, enhancing the inclusivity of the identification process for Native American individuals.
Additionally, the bill would modify existing language regarding the issuance of driver licenses and nonoperating identification licenses. It would remove outdated phrasing about the processes used in issuing these licenses, replacing it with clearer language that emphasizes the importance of preventing alterations or superimposition of photographs. The requirement for color processing of licenses and photo images would remain unchanged, ensuring that the visual integrity of the identification is maintained.
Statutes affected: Introduced Version: 28-3165, 28-3166, 41-601
