AB 1839 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Privacy: driver's license information.

Summary

Existing law authorizes a business to scan or swipe a driver's license or identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles in any electronic device for prescribed verification and informational purposes. Existing law authorizes an organ procurement organization, as defined, to scan or swipe a driver's license or identification card to transmit information for the purpose of allowing an individual to identify themselves as a registered organ donor, subject to a specified procedure. Existing law prohibits a business or organ procurement organization from retaining or using that information for any other purpose. A violation of those provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

MINOR

The diff between these two versions of AB 1839 reflects a change in document presentation format rather than any substantive legislative amendment. The first version uses the traditional printed bill format with line numbers and formal headers, while the second is a web page rendering that adds navigation elements (skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, etc.) and reformats the digest and bill text for online display. The actual legal provisions of Section 1798.90.1 of the Civil Code are identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a traditional legislative print layout (with line numbers, page headers like 'AB 1839 -2-', and formal spacing) to a web-based display format with navigation menus, quick search fields, and structured headings.

Web navigation elements were added including skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, quick search by bill number or keyword, and links to related resources such as votes, history, bill analysis, and today's law as amended.
