Summary

The bill changes licensing rules so the Motor Vehicle Division must allow a distinguishing mark on driver’s licenses and identification cards that indicates the holder is Native American, without naming a specific tribe. Applicants must submit an enhanced tribal card, tribal ID, tribal blood certificate, or a tribal/BIA affidavit to qualify. The measure also adds donor‑status fields to the forms and creates a statewide donor registry.
