The bill amends Michigan's laws regarding official state personal identification cards, introducing several key features and requirements. Notable insertions include the mandate for each card to have a permanently assigned identification number and a comprehensive list of personal information, such as full legal name and date of birth. The bill also requires the card to indicate anatomical gift donor status and veteran status, while incorporating security features to prevent tampering. Additionally, it obligates the Secretary of State to provide applicants with information about anatomical gifts and the donor registry, and allows for emergency medical information to be included on the card.

The bill also makes several deletions from current law, including the removal of specific language about late renewal fees and conditions for issuing identification cards. It clarifies that cards must not contain fingerprints and specifies conditions under which fees may be waived for certain individuals, such as seniors and veterans. Furthermore, the bill allows individuals to affirm their status as category 4 homeless and updates the language to be gender-neutral. It outlines procedures for renewing or correcting identification cards, eliminates fees for address changes, and ensures that emancipated minors can have their status indicated on their cards. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance the functionality, security, and inclusivity of state personal identification cards.
