This document is a formal notification from the Governor of Hawaii to the Legislature stating that Act 157, which relates to digital identification, was signed into law on June 25, 2026. The underlying bill amends state statutes to allow drivers and vehicle owners to present a mobile driver's license or an electronic insurance card on a smartphone instead of a physical card when stopped by law enforcement.
