The Local Government Identification Act.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue an identification card to any person attesting to the true full name, correct age, and other identifying data as certified by the applicant for the identification card, and authorizes the department to refuse to issue an identification card under certain circumstances. This bill would establish the Local Government Identification Act, which would authorize county governments to issue identification cards to persons who can provide proof of identity and proof of residency, as specified.
