	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2319, Horton. Identification cards: renewal by mail.
   Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon
proper applications, to issue driver's licenses and identification
cards. Existing law authorizes the Director of Motor Vehicles to
establish a program to renew driver's licenses by mail, as specified.

   Existing federal law requires that state drivers' licenses and
state identification cards meet specified requirements in order to
comply with federal standards for homeland security. Existing state
law requires the director to establish programs to ensure that
California complies with any federal requirements applicable to
driver's licenses and identification cards.
   This bill would require the director to establish by January 1,
2011, a specified program that permits the renewal of identification
cards by mail or through the department's Internet Web site.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 13002.1 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
   13002.1.  (a) The director shall establish by January 1, 2011, a
program that permits the renewal of identification cards by mail or
through the department's Internet Web site.
   (b) The initial application for the identification card shall be
pursuant to Section 13000. The first renewal for a person 62 years of
age or older shall be for a 10-year period with a maximum of one
renewal by mail or through the department's Internet Web site. All
other renewals shall be for a six-year period with a maximum of two
renewals by mail or through the department's Internet Web site.
