Bill No. 544 amends various sections of Oklahoma law related to identification documents, specifically focusing on the establishment of a new unit for investigating fraudulent documents. The bill renames the existing Fraudulent Documents Identification Unit to the Identity Verification Unit (IVU) and mandates the Commissioner of Public Safety to create rules for its operation. The IVU will primarily investigate the sale and distribution of fraudulent identification documents, particularly those used by individuals unlawfully residing in the state. Additionally, the bill updates statutory language and references to enhance clarity and effectiveness in the enforcement of identification laws.

The bill also modifies the procedures for issuing driver licenses and identification cards, including the implementation of computerized finger imaging for identity verification. It restricts access to information collected through this imaging to the Department of Public Safety and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation under specific circumstances. Furthermore, the bill outlines penalties for various offenses related to the misuse of identification documents, including misdemeanors and felonies, and establishes provisions for interagency agreements to facilitate cooperation between law enforcement and the Department of Public Safety. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
