Relates to repealing the driver's license access and privacy act
This bill repeals New York's Driver's License Access and Privacy Act, removing restrictions on how driver's license information may be handled. It eliminates privacy protections that previously limited access to license data, while adding new requirements for applicants: providing a Social Security number (or affidavit for non-compliant IDs), registering for organ donation via a "skip" option, and confirming Selective Service registration compliance for applicants aged 18-26. These changes apply directly to all individuals applying for or renewing a New York driver's license, learner's permit, or non-driver ID. The repeal specifically targets the privacy act's provisions, not the new requirements added in its place.
