HB 6210 Summary

• Prohibits embedding, printing, or incorporating facilitative technology (such as RFID devices or radio frequency identification) into Michigan driver licenses and personal identification cards issued by the secretary of state.

• Defines facilitative technology as electronic devices that store and transmit information by radio waves or other means without requiring a clear line of sight between the device and reader.

• Bars Michigan from participating in any interstate, federal, or international program, compact, or agreement that would require the state to embed facilitative technology in driver licenses.

• Requires state bodies to immediately begin negotiations to modify any existing program or agreement found to violate this prohibition, with a 30-day deadline to renegotiate terms.

• Mandates the state terminate or cease participation in any program or agreement within an additional 30 days if modifications cannot be negotiated.
