Within 9 months prior to release, the Department of Corrections must coordinate with the Department of Revenue to determine if inmates have valid state-issued identification and begin the process of obtaining ID cards for those who do not

State-issued identification cards issued to inmates using a DOC record card are valid for 6 years, are nonrenewable and nontransferable, and may be funded through inmate trust funds, existing DOC funds, or donations

Department of Corrections must notify inmates if they are eligible to apply for occupational licenses or certifications from state entities

Exemptions from resume and practice interview requirements apply to inmates age 65+, those releasing to medical parole, those transferring to another jurisdiction on a warrant, and those physically or mentally unable to enter the workforce
