This bill amends the existing law regarding the manufacture, advertisement, sale, or possession of fictitious, facsimile, or simulated driver's licenses. The new legal language specifies that such activities are only permissible for individuals who are U.S. citizens and are performing official duties under state or federal law. The previous provision allowing broader access to these documents has been repealed, thereby tightening the restrictions on who can engage in these activities.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the director of the division of motor vehicles must specifically authorize any issuance of these documents to ensure compliance with the new regulations. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, reinforcing the urgency of implementing these restrictions to prevent unauthorized issuance of identification documents.
