The bill amends Michigan's law regarding official state personal identification cards, introducing several key features and requirements. It mandates that these cards include an identification number, a heart insignia for anatomical gift donors, and a designation for veterans. Additionally, the bill specifies that the cards must have security features to prevent tampering and explicitly prohibits the inclusion of fingerprints or finger images. It also allows for mobile versions of the identification cards, which can indicate participation in anatomical gift registries and legal blindness. The Secretary of State is tasked with providing information about anatomical gifts and donor registries, and the bill includes provisions for fee waivers for veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Moreover, the bill expands access to state IDs for homeless individuals by allowing them to present a verification letter from a public service agency along with a photo ID from the HUD Homeless Management Information System. It requires individuals to apply for a renewal or correction of their ID upon changing their name or address, with the Secretary of State authorized to correct addresses without a fee. The language throughout the bill is updated to be more inclusive, and definitions for terms like "communication impediment" and "emergency contact information" are clarified. The bill also sets a fee cap of $4.00 for mobile IDs and ensures that the data on these IDs aligns with official records. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
