State: identification cards; real ID-compliant official state personal identification cards; prohibit the secretary of state from issuing. Amends sec. 1 of 1972 PA 222 (MCL 28.291).
House Bill 4473 proposes to amend existing Michigan law regarding official state personal identification cards. The bill specifically prohibits the Secretary of State from issuing state personal identification cards that comply with Title II of the federal Real ID Act of 2005. This means that official state personal identification cards issued in Michigan would not meet federal Real ID standards. This change directly affects Michigan residents who apply for or hold state identification cards.
