Allows driver's license applicants to voluntarily identify their race, ethnicity, or national origin
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill changes the driver‑license application to let applicants optionally disclose their race, ethnicity, or national origin. That information would not be printed on the license and would only be shared with state agencies for research and statistical reports in an aggregated or anonymized form. It also keeps existing residency verification and optional donation prompts for organ‑donor and blindness programs.
