MODERATE

This bill amends the Illinois Identification Card Act to update the short title of the Illinois Vehicle Code and introduce new provisions for issuing identification cards to individuals committed to correctional facilities. The changes ensure that incarcerated individuals can obtain ID cards upon release by submitting specific documentation, such as a photo taken by the facility and proof of residency, while also establishing strict identity verification procedures to prevent fraud.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of the Illinois Identification Card Act to explicitly include a process for issuing standard ID cards to persons committed to the Department of Corrections, Department of Juvenile Justice, federal prisons, or county jails.

TECHNICAL

Updated the short title of the Illinois Vehicle Code to reflect its full scope across multiple chapters.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a new subsection requiring the Secretary of State to issue standard ID cards to committed persons who submit a facility-taken photo, proof of residency, and a social security number.

REQUIREMENT

Mandated that committed persons without a social security number must obtain one before receiving an ID card.

Established strict identity verification rules, requiring certified birth certificates and social security cards if the applicant's information matches an existing ID in another person's name.

Required committed persons to submit an ID verification form to the Secretary of State.
