HB 213 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to data sharing by the Department of Administration for driver's license data verification purposes; and providing for an effective date.

HB 213 amends Alaska law to clarify how the Department of Administration may share driver's license data. It limits data sharing to only what's required for REAL ID Act compliance (federal standards for driver's licenses) and adds a new provision allowing the department to share data with U.S. Social Security Administration-approved entities for driver's license verification. The bill restricts sharing beyond these specific purposes and takes effect immediately. It directly affects the Department of Administration and entities seeking to verify driver's license information.

MINOR

The bill was amended to expand the list of entities that can receive driver's license data from the Department of Administration. Originally, data could only be shared with entities approved by the Social Security Administration to verify licenses.

This change broadens the scope of data sharing to include more types of organizations while maintaining the requirement for Social Security Administration approval.
