State: identification cards; mobile official state personal identification card; provide for. Amends sec. 2 of 1972 PA 222 (MCL 28.292). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0620'25
SB 617 amends Michigan's state ID card law to add new options for cardholders. It allows individuals to indicate organ donation participation (via a heart symbol or digital indicator on mobile IDs), include veteran status (with verification), and optionally add blood type, immunization, medication data, or deafness status to their ID. The bill requires the Secretary of State to provide organ donation information and a registration opportunity during the ID application process. This directly affects Michigan residents applying for or renewing state ID cards, with no new fees or eligibility changes.
