HB693 Summary

• Amends Section 32-6-10.1 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to redefine "foreign national" as a person who is not a citizen of the United States, removing the previous inclusion of persons who are not lawful permanent residents.

• Maintains existing provisions requiring foreign nationals to provide country of origin and immigration documentation expiration date when applying for driver's licenses, non-driver identification cards, or vessel licenses.

• Requires applications from foreign nationals to be processed only at designated driver's license offices and mandates licenses include a designation indicating they are issued to foreign nationals.

• Specifies that foreign national licenses expire on the same date as their acceptable immigration documentation and requires applicants to re-initiate the full licensing process for renewals.

• Becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
