Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1934	Senate Author:  Campbell
Effective:  9-1-15	House Sponsor:  Miller, Rick

            Senate Bill 1934 amends the Government Code and Transportation Code to require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to require a driver's license applicant to provide proof that the applicant is ineligible for a social security number in lieu of providing a social security number and to expand the entities to which DPS may disclose social security number information provided on a driver's license application to include an agency of another state responsible for issuing driver's licenses or identification documents. The bill makes certain provisions regarding the social security number of driver's license applicants applicable to that information on a personal identification card application and eliminates the nonexpiring personal identification card for persons 60 years of age or older. A person is not entitled to receive a driver's license or personal identification card until each state‑issued driver's license or personal identification card, as appropriate, in the person's possession is surrendered. DPS is required to conduct a study evaluating the feasibility and risks of using a digital form of a driver's license and to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature not later than September 1, 2016.
