CHILD SUPPORT REVISIONS - S.B. 796: FLOOR ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 796 (as reported without amendment)

Sponsor: Senator Joe Conroy

Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to require that all applications for an operator's or chauffeur's license include the applicant's eye color and Social Security number, as well as other identifying information.

Currently, an application for an operator's or chauffeur's license requires the applicant's full name, date of birth, address of residence, height, sex, eye color, and signature; an application for an operator's or chauffeur's license with a vehicle group designation or indorsement, however, does not require the applicant's eye color and does require his or her Social Security number. Under the bill, all applications for an operator's or chauffeur's license would require all of that identifying information, including the person's eye color and Social Security number.

FISCAL IMPACT

Procedures for including the specified information on the application for a chauffeur's license are already in practice. The cost of making an application that included the applicant's Social Security number could be absorbed within current application-making costs. The amended provisions would not have any fiscal impact upon the State.
