Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 8-810, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
8-810. Children at risk of serious harm; missing children; notification; entry into databases
A. If the department receives a report made pursuant to section 13‑3620 or receives information during the course of providing services that indicates a child in the physical custody of the department is at risk of serious harm and or the child's location is unknown, the department shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and provide the information required to make the record entry into the Arizona crime information center and the national crime information center missing person databases. This includes information about the child and child's parent, guardian, or custodian or a person of interest.
B. The appropriate law enforcement agency shall immediately enter the information provided by the department pursuant to subsection A of this section into the Arizona crime information center and the national crime information center missing person databases.
Sec. 2. Title 8, chapter 4, article 8, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 8-812, to read:
8-812. Out-of-home placement; photographs; fingerprints; use
A. The department shall maintain one of the following for each child in the physical custody of the department:
1. A Current photograph of the child that is updated every twelve months after the initial placement for as long as the child remains in out‑of‑home placement.
2. A nonoperating identification license issued pursuant to section 28-3165.
B. On the request of the department a court may order that the fingerprints of a child in out‑of‑home placement be taken if one or more of the following apply:
1. The child is at least five years of age.
2. The child has been placed in congregate care.
3. The child has three or more out‑of‑home placements.
C. The department shall store photographs and fingerprints taken pursuant to this section and shall share them with law enforcement and law enforcement databases pursuant to section 8-810 if the child in the physical custody of the department is reported missing or the child's location is unknown. Photographs and fingerprints taken pursuant to this section may not be used for any purpose other than to locate a child who is missing from care.
Sec. 3. Section 28-3165, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
28-3165. Nonoperating identification license; immunity; rules; emancipated minors; definition
A. On receipt of an application from a person who does not have a valid driver license issued by this state or whose driving privilege is suspended, the department shall issue a nonoperating identification license that contains a distinguishing number assigned to the licensee, the full legal name, the date of birth, the residence address and a brief description of the licensee and either a facsimile of the signature of the licensee or a space on which the licensee is required to write the licensee's usual signature with pen and ink. A nonoperating identification license that is issued to a person whose driving privilege is suspended shall not be valid for more than one hundred eighty days from the date of issuance.
B. On request of an applicant:
1. The department shall allow the applicant to provide on the nonoperating identification license a post office box address that is regularly used by the applicant.
2. If the applicant submits satisfactory proof to the department that the applicant is a veteran, the department shall allow a distinguishing mark to appear on the nonoperating identification license that identifies that person as a veteran.
C. A person who is issued a license pursuant to this section shall use it only for identification purposes of the licensee. The nonoperating identification license does not grant authority to operate a motor vehicle in this state. The department shall clearly label the nonoperating identification license "for identification only, not for operation of a motor vehicle".
D. On issuance of a driver license, the holder of a nonoperating identification license shall surrender the nonoperating identification license to the department and the department shall not refund any fee paid for the issuance of the nonoperating identification license.
E. A nonoperating identification license shall contain the photograph of the licensee. The department shall use a process in the issuance of nonoperating identification licenses that prohibits as nearly as possible the ability to superimpose a photograph on the license without ready detection. The department shall process nonoperating identification licenses and photo attachments in color.
F. On application, an applicant shall give the department satisfactory proof of the applicant's full legal name, date of birth, sex and residence address, if the applicant has a residence address, and that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law. The application shall briefly describe the applicant, state whether the applicant has been licensed, and if so, the type of license issued, when and by what state or country and whether any such license is under suspension, revocation or cancellation. The application shall contain other identifying information required by the department.
G. The department may adopt and implement procedures to deny a nonoperating identification license to a person who has been deported. The department may adopt and implement procedures to reinstate a person's privilege to apply for a nonoperating identification license if the person's legal presence status is restored.
H. A nonoperating identification license issued by the department is solely for the use and convenience of the applicant for identification purposes.
I. The department shall adopt rules and establish fees for issuance of a nonoperating identification license, except that the department shall not require an examination.
J. The fees established pursuant to this section do not apply to any of the following:
1. A person who is sixty‑five years of age or older.
2. A person who is a recipient of public monies as an individual with a disability under title XVI of the social security act, as amended.
3. A veteran who does not have a residence address.
4. A veteran whose residence address is the address of a shelter that provides services to the homeless.
5. A child in the physical custody of the department of child safety.
K. If a person qualifies for a nonoperating identification license and is under the legal drinking age, the department shall issue a license that is marked by color, code or design to immediately distinguish it from a nonoperating identification license issued to a person of legal drinking age. The department shall indicate on the nonoperating identification license issued pursuant to this subsection the year in which the person will attain the legal drinking age.
L. If a minor has been emancipated pursuant to title 12, chapter 15, on application and proof of emancipation, the department shall issue a nonoperating identification license that contains the words "emancipated minor".
M. For the purposes of this section, "veteran" has the same meaning prescribed in section 41‑601.
