MI HB5250

Applicants for enhanced driver licenses or enhanced state personal identification cards must provide completed applications, U.S. citizenship documentation, and signed certifications to the Secretary of State, along with prescribed fees.

Facial images and signatures captured during application may be shared with federal, state, or local government agencies for law enforcement purposes, other states as required by federal law, the Secretary of State for authorized purposes, and the Department of State Police as specified.

The Secretary of State must not display social security numbers on the face of enhanced cards and must examine and verify the genuineness and legality of all applications, with rejected applicants able to appeal under the revised judicature act.

Facial images of applicants denied cards must be retained for at least 1 year (or 10 years if fraud is suspected), and copies or digital images of submitted documents are exempt from freedom of information act disclosure except to law enforcement agencies.

The Secretary of State is prohibited from compiling or maintaining any database under this act that may be shared with countries other than the United States.
