An Act To Preserve Traditional Driver'S Licenses And Nondriver Identification Cards

This bill requires Maine's Secretary of State to offer applicants a driver's license or nondriver ID card that does not meet federal REAL ID standards, while still being valid for all state identification purposes. It directly affects Maine residents applying for these identification documents. The key provision creates a new option alongside the existing REAL ID-compliant licenses, ensuring non-REAL ID cards remain acceptable for state requirements like voting or accessing services. This change does not alter federal airport security rules but provides an alternative for state-level identification needs.
