	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2308, 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 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 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.
