This bill establishes rules for businesses and individuals, known as relying parties, when they accept digital versions of driver's licenses and identification cards. It requires these entities to verify the digital ID using secure technology and obtain permission before collecting or keeping any personal data from the card. The law also prohibits relying parties from forcing users to unlock their phones, searching their devices, or demanding the digital ID as a mandatory requirement for completing a transaction.
