AB650,,22An Act to amend 343.17 (6) and 343.35 (1); and to create 125.085 (1) (g), 134.66 (1) (c) 5., 343.17 (2m), 343.21 (1) (Lm), 343.50 (3m), 343.50 (5n) and 450.11 (1b) (a) 2. f. of the statutes; relating to: issuance of an electronic credential by the Department of Transportation and granting rule-making authority. AB650,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires the Department of Transportation to design an electronic credential to function as an extension of the physical operator’s license or identification card issued by DOT. DOT must design the electronic credential to 1) be authenticated through the use of secure encrypted communication, 2) enable the holder to share only the electronic credential data elements that are required to complete the transaction for which that data is being requested, 3) enable validation of the electronic credential without the holder relinquishing possession of any device, and 4) display the words “Not valid for motor vehicle operation.” DOT must issue an electronic credential to any person who is otherwise eligible to hold an operator’s license or identification card, upon verification of the person’s application and payment of any required fees.
The bill provides that a person may not use an electronic credential in lieu of displaying an operator’s license or identification card when required, unless authorized by law. The bill specifically authorizes a person to use the electronic credential to establish identification for the purpose of buying alcohol beverages, tobacco products, and prescription drugs, if the person relying on the electronic credential to establish identification is able to verify the required credential data elements using secure encrypted communication as defined by DOT and in conformance with International Organization of Standardization or International Electrotechnical Commission standards.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
