Driver's licenses: photographs.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a driver's license to an applicant when the department determines that the applicant is lawfully entitled to a license. Existing law specifies the required contents of a driver's license, including a fullface engraved picture or photograph of the licensee. This bill would require the department, for purposes of the engraved picture or photograph, to allow a licensee to request that more than one, but not more than 3, photographs be taken onsite at the department field office and select the photograph to be used on his or her license. The bill would require the department to establish a reasonable fee, not to exceed $5, for each additional photograph requested and would require the department to deposit the revenue derived from the additional fees into the Motor Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund. Moneys deposited into that account pursuant to the bill would be used by the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to support driver education and training programs. The bill would require the department to adopt regulations to implement its provisions by January 1, 2020.
