Senate Bill No. 544 amends existing laws related to identification documents in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on the establishment of an Identity Verification Unit (IVU) within the Department of Public Safety. The bill replaces the previously named Fraudulent Documents Identification Unit with the IVU, which will investigate and apprehend individuals involved in the sale or distribution of fraudulent identification documents. Additionally, the Commissioner of Public Safety is required to promulgate rules to administer the provisions of this section. The bill also updates statutory language and references to ensure clarity and accuracy.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the authority and responsibilities of Service Oklahoma regarding driver licenses and identification cards. It specifies that the Department of Public Safety will have access to information collected through computerized finger imaging, with restrictions on access by law enforcement agencies unless a court order is obtained. The bill also outlines penalties for various offenses related to the misuse of identification documents, including misdemeanors and felonies, and establishes provisions for interagency agreements to facilitate the issuance and control of licenses for law enforcement purposes. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
