Geymann HB No. 939
Abstract: Provides for driver's licenses and special identification cards not compliant with the
REAL ID Act of 2005.
Proposed law provides if a person applying for a driver's licenses or special identification card
under the provisions of present law does not elect to apply for a license that complies with REAL
ID standards and that person is otherwise eligible to be issued a driver's license or special
identification card under the provisions of present law, that person shall be issued a driver's
license or special identification card which indicates the driver's license or special identification
card is not in compliance with REAL ID. Specifies that if the person has elected not to apply for
a REAL ID compliant credential, the department shall not require the applicant to comply with
any of the REAL ID requirements, other than those required by proposed law, which were not
required by the state as of Jan. 1, 2014.
