This bill amends Section 6-105.3 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to state identification cards for residents. A significant change introduced by the bill is the prohibition of fees for Oklahoma high school students aged fourteen to eighteen when applying for a REAL ID Noncompliant Identification Card. The bill defines "student" as individuals enrolled in ninth through twelfth grades in various educational settings within Oklahoma. Additionally, it clarifies that no fees will be charged for identification cards to individuals aged sixty-five and older, as well as to one hundred percent disabled veterans.
The bill also outlines the procedures for issuing identification cards, including the requirement for parental or guardian consent for applicants under eighteen. It specifies that the Department of Corrections will coordinate with Service Oklahoma to provide identification cards to inmates upon their release, ensuring they have proper identification. Furthermore, the bill establishes that the fees collected for these identification cards will be allocated to various funds, including the Service Oklahoma Revolving Fund, and it sets forth rules for the issuance and renewal of both REAL ID Compliant and Noncompliant Identification Cards.
