Authorizes the department of motor vehicles to accept certain documentation issued to veterans of the military as acceptable proofs of identity when applying for a driver license or state identification card

Summary

The measure expands the list of IDs the Department of Motor Vehicles can accept for non‑commercial driver’s licenses and learner’s permits to include a DD‑214, a Veterans Affairs ID card, or a VA health ID. It also lets applicants choose a sex designation of M, F, or X and provides an optional checkbox to join the state organ‑and‑tissue donor registry. The changes are intended to simplify licensing for veterans and update identification options for all New Yorkers.
