This bill aims to revise digital identification laws in Montana by granting residents the right to request the deletion of their digital identification card data from state agency databases. Residents can submit a written or electronic request for deletion, which state agencies are required to comply with within 30 days, unless the data is needed for an active legal investigation or must be retained under federal or state laws. If a deletion request is denied, agencies must provide a written explanation within 15 days, and they are also required to establish a clear process for residents to submit these requests, including both paper-based and online options. Additionally, residents have the right to file a complaint with the office of the attorney general if their request is unlawfully denied.

The bill includes new sections that outline these rights and processes, ensuring that Montana residents have a clear pathway to manage their digital identification data. The provisions are intended to be codified as part of Title 2 of the Montana Code, reinforcing the state's commitment to protecting residents' digital privacy rights.
