This bill proposes the enactment of a new section to chapter 39-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, which establishes restrictions on the use of out-of-state operator's licenses and nonoperator identification cards. Specifically, it prohibits the use of these documents from states that do not require proof of citizenship, residency, or visa status for identification purposes and for operating a motor vehicle in North Dakota, unless accompanied by a second form of identification. The bill outlines acceptable forms of secondary identification, which include a valid U.S. passport, birth certificate, certification of naturalization, and others.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that these restrictions do not apply to out-of-state licenses or identification cards that comply with the Real ID Act of 2005, nor do they apply to commercial operator licenses. This legislation aims to enhance identification verification processes within the state, ensuring that individuals using out-of-state credentials meet specific identification standards.
