The bill amends Michigan's law regarding official state personal identification cards, introducing several key updates to enhance their functionality and inclusivity. Notable insertions include the requirement for the card to feature a permanently assigned identification number, as well as a comprehensive list of personal information such as full legal name, date of birth, blood type, immunization data, and veteran status. The bill also allows for a heart insignia for those participating in the anatomical gift donor registry and mandates that the secretary of state provide information about making anatomical gifts.

In addition to these insertions, the bill makes several deletions and modifications to existing language, promoting gender neutrality by replacing terms like "his or her" with "the individual's." It clarifies the processes for issuing, renewing, and correcting identification cards, including fee structures and conditions for waiving fees for veterans and individuals with disabilities. The bill also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the security and integrity of the identification cards to prevent tampering or fraud, while ensuring that individuals' agreements to participate in the anatomical gift donor registry remain valid even if their cards expire. Overall, the bill aims to improve the accessibility and compliance of state personal identification cards with federal regulations.
