SUBJECT: Service Dog Endorsement on Driver's License.

FUNDS AFFECTED: GENERAL IMPACT: State
XDEDICATED

Summary of Legislation: This bill provides that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) shall place an
identifying symbol on certain driver's licenses, permits, and identification cards to indicate the use of a
service animal due to a person's disability.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: This bill will require the BMV to work with their credential vendor
to design an identifying symbol to indicate use of a service animal.
An additional endorsement on BMV credentials is expected to have no impact on agency expenditures. The
vendor that is currently under contract to provide credentials does not charge the BMV for new identifying
symbols. However, the BMV reports that due to the total number of endorsements and identifying symbols
available for credentials issued by the Bureau, space has become limited for new additions. The BMV also
reports that as the agency continues developing mobile credentials, the ability to display additional
identifying symbols will be expanded.
