	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 60, as amended, Alejo. Driver's licenses: eligibility: required
documentation.
   (1) Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
to require an applicant for an original driver's license or
identification card to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant's
presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
Existing law prohibits the department from issuing an original driver'
s license or identification card to a person who does not submit
satisfactory proof that his or her presence in the United States is
authorized under federal law.
   This bill would  authorize   require 
the department to issue an original driver's license to a person who
is unable to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence
in the United States is authorized under federal law if he or she
meets all other qualifications for licensure and provides
satisfactory proof to the department of his or her identity and
California residency. The bill would require the department to adopt
 emergency  regulations, in consultation with appropriate
 law enforcement representatives   interested
parties, as prescribed  , to implement those provisions,
including identifying documents acceptable for the purposes of
providing identity and California residency and procedures for
verifying the authenticity of the documents. The bill would 
authorize   require  the department to 
consider accepting prescribed   accept various 
types of documentation for this purpose. The bill would require a
license issued pursuant to those provisions, including temporary
licenses, to include on  its face   the front of
the card  a recognizable feature and a specified notice. The
bill would authorize the department to modify these licenses if these
licenses do not meet federal requirements.  The bill would
provide that information collected pursuant to those provisions is
not a public record   and shall not be disclosed by the
department, except as required by law. 
   This bill would  make it a violation of law to discriminate
against an individual because he or she holds or presents a license
issued under these provisions. The bill would  require, on or
before January 1, 2018, the  Administrative Office of the
Courts   California Research Bureau  to compile and
submit to the Legislature and the Governor a report that, among
other things, includes instances when these licenses are used to
discriminate against an individual. The bill would provide that a
person applying for a license pursuant to these provisions may be
required to pay, only until June 30, 2017, an additional fee to
offset the reasonable administrative costs of implementing these
provisions. The bill would make other technical and conforming
changes.
   (2) Existing law requires the department to require an application
for a driver's license to contain the applicant's social security
number and any other number or identifier determined to be
appropriate by the department. Existing law authorizes an applicant
who provides satisfactory proof that his or her presence in the
United States is authorized under federal law, but who is not
eligible for a social security number, to receive an original driver'
s license if he or she meets all other requirements for licensure.
   This bill would authorize an applicant who is unable to provide
satisfactory proof that his or her presence in the United States is
authorized under federal law to sign an affidavit  under
penalty of perjury  attesting that he or she is both
ineligible for a social security number and unable to submit
satisfactory proof that his or her presence in the United States is
authorized under federal law in lieu of submitting a social security
number.  The bill would prohibit the use of this information to
consider an individual's citizenship or immigration status as a basis
for a criminal investigation, arrest, or detention. 
   This bill would make these changes operative on January 1, 2015,
or on the date the director of the department executes a specified
declaration, whichever is sooner. The bill would make these
provisions inoperative on the effective date of a final judicial
determination made by any court of appellate jurisdiction that any of
these provisions, or their application, are enjoined, found
unconstitutional, or held invalid for any reason. The bill would
require the department to post this information on its Internet Web
site.
   This bill would state that its provisions do not authorize an
individual to apply for, or be issued, a commercial driver's license
without submitting his or her social security account number with his
or her application.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
