A bill for an act relating to the issuance of driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards, including physical forms of such identification and noncompliance with federal requirements.
HF 2110 requires Iowa's Department of Transportation to issue driver's licenses and nonoperator ID cards that do not comply with federal REAL ID standards upon applicant request. The bill prohibits the department from collecting or storing biometric data (like fingerprints or facial scans), retaining supporting documents (such as birth certificates or utility bills), or sharing applicant information in federal databases. It mandates that applicants be informed about the option to obtain a noncompliant license and ensures that noncompliant IDs remain valid for state driving and identification purposes. This directly affects Iowa residents who choose not to obtain REAL ID-compliant identification.
