Motor Vehicle Administration - Identification Cards, Licenses, and Permits - Repeal of Color Photograph Requirement

HB 248 removes the requirement that photos on Maryland-issued identification cards, driver's licenses, and moped operator permits must be in color. This change affects all applicants for these documents by allowing black-and-white photographs instead of color ones. The bill repeals specific sections of Maryland law (including Code sections 12-301(g)(2)(v), 16-111.1(d)(2)(iv), and 16-122(d)(3)(v)) that currently mandate color photos, effective October 1, 2026.
