	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1389, as introduced, Allen. Vehicles: driver's licenses.
   Existing law requires every application for an original or a
renewal of a driver's license to contain specified information,
including the applicant's true full name, age, sex, mailing address,
residence address, and social security account number.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.

State-mandated local program: no.
