Summary

The committee passed a bill to ensure driver‑license applicants receive a standardized printed explanation and signed acknowledgment of the choice between Real ID and a non‑Real ID; the bill moves to Finance committee.

A sponsor explained the measure is intended to reduce confusion at DMV counters by ensuring applicants are clearly informed of the choice between a Real ID and a non‑Real ID and by requiring a signed acknowledgment and prominent website information.

The committee asked no substantive questions and the clerk reported the bill passed and will go to the Finance committee. The sponsor said the measure strengthens transparency and protects consumer choice by requiring staff to process a non‑Real ID when an applicant declines a Real ID.
