This bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically regarding the application, issuance, and renewal of driver's licenses and learner's permits. Key changes include the requirement for applications to allow for the submission of a Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, and the introduction of a Pennsylvania REAL ID driver's license for noncitizens who can prove their lawful presence in the U.S. The bill also specifies that non-REAL ID licenses will be clearly labeled as "Not for REAL ID Purposes" and outlines the conditions under which the Department of Transportation may issue these licenses.

Additionally, the bill enhances privacy protections for applicants of non-REAL ID licenses by restricting the use and disclosure of their information for immigration enforcement purposes, except under specific legal circumstances. It prohibits the department from inquiring about an applicant's citizenship or immigration status, except as necessary for compliance with existing laws. The previous provisions regarding the expiration and renewal of licenses based on Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) credentials have been removed, streamlining the process for noncitizens. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
