960	960	division shall be valid until either: (1)(i) A digital color image or

966	966	of such applicant to be placed on the driver's license.
967	967	(3) Upon payment of such fee prescribed by the secretary of revenue,

1027	1027	make a gift of all or any part of the body of the licensee in accordance with
1028	1028	the revised uniform anatomical gift act, K.S.A. 65-3220 through 65-3244,

1031	1031	(c) Any person who is deaf or hard of hearing may request that the
1032	1032	division issue to such person a driver's license which that is readily
1033	1033	distinguishable from drivers' licenses issued to other drivers and upon such
1034	1034	request the division shall issue such license. Drivers' licenses issued to
1035	1035	persons who are deaf or hard of hearing and under the age of 21 years shall
1036	1036	be readily distinguishable from drivers' licenses issued to persons who are
1037	1037	deaf or hard of hearing and 21 years of age or older. Upon satisfaction of
1038	1038	subsection (a), the division shall issue a receipt of application permitting
1039	1039	the operation of a vehicle consistent with the requested class, if there are
1040	1040	no other restrictions or limitations, pending the division's verification of
1041	1041	the information and production of a driver's license.
1042	1042	(d) A driver's license issued to a person required to be registered
1043	1043	under K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall be assigned a
1044	1044	distinguishing number by the division which that will readily indicate to
1045	1045	law enforcement officers that such person is a registered offender. The
1046	1046	division shall develop a numbering system to implement the provisions of
1047	1047	this subsection.
1048	1048	(e) (1) Any person who is a veteran may request that the division
1049	1049	issue to such person a driver's license that shall include the designation
1050	1050	"VETERAN" displayed on the front of the driver's license at a location to
1051	1051	be determined by the secretary of revenue. In order to receive a license
1052	1052	described in this subsection, the veteran shall provide a copy of the
1053	1053	veteran's DD form 214, NGB form 22 or equivalent discharge document
1054	1054	showing character of service as honorable or general under honorable
1055	1055	conditions.
1056	1056	(2) As used in this subsection, "veteran" means a person who served
1057	1057	in the active military, naval, air or space service and who was discharged
1058	1058	or released therefrom under an honorable discharge or a general discharge
1059	1059	under honorable conditions.

1117	1117	(g) (1) A driver's license issued pursuant to this section may include

1119	1119	license may be issued upon request by an applicant and payment of the
1120	1120	required fee. A digital proof of driver's license is optional to purchase and
1121	1121	supplemental to a physical driver's license. Except as provided in section
1122	1122	7, and amendments thereto, a digital proof of driver's license shall be
1123	1123	accepted in lieu of a physical driver's license to a person requesting or
1124	1124	requiring proof of licensure or identification. No digital proof of driver's
1125	1125	license shall be issued unless the applicant holds the corresponding
1126	1126	physical driver's license or the corresponding physical driver's license is
1127	1127	issued simultaneously. The division may digitally cancel, suspend or
1128	1128	revalidate a digital proof of driver's license on the occasions that a
1129	1129	physical driver's license would be canceled, suspended, returned or
1130	1130	reinstated, as appropriate. A digital proof of driver's license shall meet the
1131	1131	requirements and conditions provided in sections 2 through 8, and
1132	1132	amendments thereto, before being issued by the division pursuant to this
1133	1133	subsection.
1134	1134	(2) As used in this subsection, "digital proof of driver's license"
1135	1135	means the same as defined in section 1, and amendments thereto.
1136	1136	Sec. 12. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 8-1324 is hereby amended to read as

1138	1138	driver's license may make application to the division of vehicles and be
1139	1139	issued one identification card.
1140	1140	(b) (1) Each application for an identification card shall include a
1141	1141	question asking if the applicant is willing to give such applicant's
1142	1142	authorization to be listed as an organ, eye and tissue donor in the Kansas
1143	1143	donor registry in accordance with the revised uniform anatomical gift act,
1144	1144	K.S.A. 65-3220 through 65-3244, and amendments thereto. The gift would
1145	1145	become effective upon the death of the donor.
1146	1146	(2) For the purpose of obtaining an identification card, an applicant
1147	1147	shall submit, with the application, proof of age, proof of identity and proof
1148	1148	of lawful presence. An applicant shall submit with the application a photo

1197	1197	be disclosed, except as provided pursuant to K.S.A. 74-2014, and

1199	1199	number, the applicant shall provide proof of lawful presence and Kansas
1200	1200	residency. The division shall assign a distinguishing number to the
1201	1201	identification card. Before issuing an identification card to a person, the
1202	1202	division shall make reasonable efforts to verify with the issuing agency the
1203	1203	issuance, validity and completeness of each document required to be
1204	1204	presented by the applicant to prove age, identity and lawful presence.
1205	1205	(c) The division shall not issue an identification card to any person
1206	1206	who fails to provide proof that the person is lawfully present in the United

1209	1209	alien lawfully admitted for temporary residence under K.S.A. 8-240(b)(2)
1210	1210	(B), and amendments thereto, the division may only issue a temporary

1213	1213	subparagraph shall be valid only during the period of time of the
1214	1214	applicant's authorized stay in the United States or, if there is no definite
1215	1215	end to the period of authorized stay, a period of one year;
1216	1216	(2) a temporary identification card issued pursuant to this
1217	1217	subparagraph shall clearly indicate that it is temporary and shall state the
1218	1218	date upon which when it expires;
1219	1219	(3) no temporary identification card issued pursuant to this
1220	1220	subparagraph shall be for a longer period of time than the time period
1221	1221	permitted by K.S.A. 8-1325, and amendments thereto; and
1222	1222	(4) a temporary identification card issued pursuant to this
1223	1223	subparagraph may be renewed, subject at the time of renewal, to the same

1233	1233	license or identification card.

1453	1453	previously provided documentation of identity, lawful presence and
1454	1454	residence to the division for electronic scanning. For purposes of this
1455	1455	subsection, the division may rely on the division's most recent, existing
1456	1456	color digital image and signature image of the applicant for the nondriver's
1457	1457	identification card if the division has such images on file. The
1458	1458	determination on whether an electronic online renewal application or

1470	1470	payment of the required fee. A digital proof of identification card is
1471	1471	optional to purchase and supplemental to a physical identification card.
1472	1472	Except as provided in section 7, and amendments thereto, a digital proof
1473	1473	of identification card shall be accepted in lieu of a physical identification
1474	1474	card to a person requesting or requiring proof of identification. No digital
1475	1475	proof of identification card shall be issued unless the applicant holds the
1476	1476	corresponding physical identification card or the corresponding physical
1477	1477	identification card is issued simultaneously. The division may digitally
1478	1478	cancel, suspend or revalidate a digital proof of identification card on the
1479	1479	occasions that a physical identification card would be canceled,
1480	1480	suspended, returned or reinstated, as appropriate. A digital proof of
1481	1481	identification card shall meet the requirements and conditions provided in
1482	1482	sections 2 through 8, and amendments thereto, before being issued by the
1483	1483	division pursuant to this subsection.
1484	1484	(2) As used in this subsection, "digital proof of identification card"
1485	1485	means the same as defined in section 1, and amendments thereto.

1489	1489	sixth birthday of the applicant following the date of original issue, except
1490	1490	as otherwise provided by K.S.A. 8-1329, and amendments thereto.
1491	1491	Renewal of any identification card shall be made for a term of six years
1492	1492	and shall expire in a like manner as the originally issued identification
1493	1493	card, unless surrendered earlier or subsection (c) of K.S.A. 8-1324, and

1657	1657	such applicant.
