An Act relating to the powers of the commissioner of administration with respect to motor vehicles; relating to electronic identification cards; relating to electronic driver's licenses and permits; and providing for an effective date.

SB 165 allows Alaska residents to obtain electronic identification cards and electronic driver's licenses on mobile devices, while requiring them to retain their physical ID card. It establishes rules for law enforcement to verify these digital IDs without accessing other phone contents and provides legal immunity for officers handling devices. The bill updates requirements for physical ID cards, including a $20 fee for federally-compliant versions, and clarifies that electronic licenses meet the state's legal requirement to carry a valid ID. This directly affects all Alaskans who need state-issued identification or driver's licenses.
