Provides for issuing non-driver identification cards to certain persons with suspended driving privileges
This bill requires the state to issue a photo ID card immediately when a court suspends a driver's license due to a DWI (driving while intoxicated) arrest. It directly affects individuals whose licenses are suspended for DWI offenses, ensuring they receive a standard non-driver ID card with their photo. The key provision mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles must provide this card in the same format as other non-driver IDs under existing law. The card is issued at the time of suspension, not later, to help these individuals access services that require identification.
