HB 1676 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits the implementation or enforcement of any laws requiring digital identification

HB 1676 prohibits the state from implementing or enforcing any laws requiring digital identification, such as digital ID systems or mandates for using digital IDs to access government services, benefits, or private facilities. It directly affects individuals who might otherwise be required to provide digital ID for transactions, including accessing public services or private entities that rely on state-verified identification. Key provisions ban state-sponsored digital ID systems, requirements for digital ID use, the use of biometrics for identification, and sharing digital ID data without explicit consent. This bill prevents the state from enforcing any requirement for digital identification in any context, focusing on individual privacy protections.
