Senate Bill 619 proposes amendments to Wisconsin's statutes regarding the issuance and display of operator's licenses and identification cards in electronic formats. The bill allows the Department of Transportation to issue electronic copies of both operator's licenses and identification cards, enabling individuals to present these documents in either printed or electronic formats when operating a motor vehicle. Specifically, it stipulates that if a license is displayed electronically on a device, traffic officers are restricted from viewing any other content on that device, ensuring privacy for the licensee.

Additionally, the bill introduces a fee of $10 for the issuance of electronic copies of both operator's licenses and identification cards. It amends existing provisions to clarify that the standard card issuance fee does not apply to electronic copies. The changes aim to modernize the way identification is handled, reflecting the increasing use of digital formats in everyday transactions.
