This bill provides for the issuance of a temporary proof of license or non-driver identification upon expiration of a valid driver license or non-driver identification card. The bill amends RSA 259:48 to include a new provision for a temporary proof of license issued upon license renewal. It also amends RSA 263:10 to allow for online renewal of driver licenses, with applicants receiving a temporary proof of license until the physical license is issued. The temporary proof of license is considered sufficient proof of eligibility to operate a motor vehicle or vessel, and sufficient proof of identification for any legal purpose except voting. The bill also amends RSA 260:21 to include a provision for a temporary proof of identification for online renewal of identification cards. Finally, the bill amends RSA 263:2 to require drivers to possess their driver's license or temporary proof of license upon their person or in the vehicle, and to surrender it to a demanding officer upon request.
