POSTSECONDARY ED: Authorizes each postsecondary system management board to digitize student IDs for use in LA Wallet. (8/1/26) (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG EX)

Changed the authorization from the general postsecondary system management board to specifically the Board of Supervisors of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Added a mandatory requirement that digitized student identification cards must be available in the LA Wallet by August 1, 2027.

Restricted the program to students enrolled specifically in LSU System schools rather than all postsecondary students in the state.

Removed the reference to the biometric identification platform, eliminating specific constraints on the technology provider.

Two Representatives (Chassion and Terry) were added as co-sponsors of the bill.

The requirement for digitizing student IDs was changed from a mandate to an authorization, giving boards the option to implement the feature.

New text clarifies that student identification cards must be provided to students at no charge and that no fees can be charged by biometric platforms to students or educational institutions.

The document status changed from 'Reengrossed' to 'Enrolled', indicating the bill has completed the legislative process and is ready for execution.

Changed the language from 'shall make' (mandatory) to 'may make' (optional) regarding the creation of student identification cards.

Removed a mandated start date for the implementation of digitized student credentials.
