   An act to add Section 3007.05 to the Penal Code, relating to
prisoners.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2308, as amended, Stone. Prisoners: identification cards.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles 
(DMV)  to issue an identification card to a person attesting to
the true full name, correct age, and other identifying data as
certified by the applicant for the identification card.  Existing
law also establishes the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to oversee the state prison system. 
   This bill would require the Department of Corrections  and
Rehabilitation  and the  Department of Motor Vehicles
  DMV  to ensure that all eligible inmates released
from state prisons have valid identification cards.  The bill
would define "eligible inmate" for this purpose to mean an inmate who
has previously held a California driver's license or identification
card, who has a useable photo on file with the DMV that is not more
than 10 years old, who has no outstanding fees due for a prior
California driver's license or identification card, and who has
provided certain other information verified by the DMV, including,
among other things, the inmate's true full name and date of birth.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
