Summary

The bill bars the Motor Vehicle Administration from requiring a parent or legal guardian to cosign or be present when a minor who is at least 15 years old applies for a state identification card. It also requires the agency to adopt regulations that list acceptable documents a minor can use to prove residency. The change gives older teens more independence in obtaining ID while still meeting federal Real ID rules when possible.
