SB 1447 Summary

• Amends Michigan's personal identification card law (1972 PA 222) to add a requirement that cards indicate whether the holder is a legal alien not a U.S. citizen.

• The Secretary of State may implement the legal alien designation by placing a statement on the card, issuing cards in a different color, or using other suitable methods.

• Maintains existing identification card requirements including applicant information (name, date of birth, address, photo, signature), security features, and optional medical information (blood type, immunization data, medication data, deaf designation).

• Establishes $10.00 fee for original or renewal identification cards with fee waivers for seniors 65+, persons with disabilities, and those presenting statutory blindness.

• Identification cards expire on the holder's birthday in the fourth year following issuance, with renewal available by mail or in-person depending on applicant status.
