An Act To Modify The Laws Regarding Driver'S License Applications

This bill changes penalties for new Maine residents who fail to get a driver's license within 30 days of moving to the state. It eliminates the previous criminal charge (Class E crime) for those who have lived in Maine for 90 days or more, replacing it with a traffic infraction and a $150-$500 fine for that group. The bill also clarifies that applicants ineligible for a Social Security Number do not need to provide one, regardless of whether they submit proof of ineligibility. These changes directly affect new residents applying for Maine driver's licenses or nondriver ID cards.
