CONTENT
House Bill 4203 and House Bill 4204 would amend Public Act 222 of 1972, which provides for the issuance of an official State personal identification card, and the Michigan Vehicle Code, respectively, to authorize the Secretary of State (SOS) to forward to the Michigan Department of State Police (MSP) a digitized photograph for a concealed pistol license (CPL).
Each bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
House Bill 4203
Public Act 222 of 1972 requires an individual's official State personal ID card to contain certain information, including his or her legal name, date of birth, sex, residence address, height, weight, eye color, digital photographic image and signature, and the ID card's expiration date. The SOS must retain and use an individual's digital photographic image and signature only for programs administered by the SOS as authorized by law. An individual's digital photographic image or signature may only be used as follows:
-- By a Federal, State, or local governmental agency for a law enforcement purpose.
-- By the SOS for a use specifically authorized by law.
-- For the SOS to forward to the MSP the images of individuals required to be registered under the Sex Offenders Registration Act.
-- As necessary to comply with a law of the State or the United States.
Under the bill, an individual's digital photographic image also could be used for the SOS to forward to the MSP a digitized photograph taken of the applicant for an official State personal ID card for use as provided in Section 5c of the handgun licensure Act. (Section 5c prescribes the form and contents of a CPL, and requires the SOS to make a digitized photograph taken of the applicant for a driver license or personal ID card available to the MSP for use under the Act.)
House Bill 4204
Under the Michigan Vehicle Code, an applicant for an operator's or chauffeur's license may have his or her image and signature captured or reproduced when the application is made. An image or signature captured for an application must appear on the applicant's license. A person's digital photographic image and signature must be used for the same purposes as a
digital photographic image for an official State personal ID card. Under the bill, a person's digital photographic image and signature also would have to be used by the SOS for forwarding to the MSP as provided in Section 5c of the handgun licensure Act.
