The bill introduced by Representative Bayham enacts a new provision under R.S. 32:413(F) concerning the fees associated with updating a driver's license to comply with REAL ID standards. It stipulates that applicants who are updating or renewing their driver's license solely for the purpose of obtaining a REAL ID credential will not be subject to the duplicate license fee. Instead, they will only be required to pay a handling fee as specified in R.S. 32:412.1(B)(1)(c).

Additionally, the bill includes a termination date for this provision, which is set for June 30, 2026. This means that after this date, the exemption from the duplicate fee for REAL ID updates will no longer be in effect. Overall, the legislation aims to facilitate the process of obtaining a REAL ID compliant driver's license by reducing the financial burden on applicants.
