Allows driver's license applicants to voluntarily identify their race, ethnicity, or national origin

HB 2509 allows Missouri driver's license applicants to voluntarily identify their race, ethnicity, or national origin on their application form. This information will not appear on the physical license and will only be used by state agencies for research and statistical reporting after being aggregated or anonymized. The bill does not alter the license itself or affect eligibility but adds this optional field to the application process for all Missouri driver's license applicants. It directly impacts individuals applying for or renewing a driver's license in Missouri.
