LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1407, as amended, Newman.
Driver’s licenses: photographs.
Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a driver’s license to an applicant when the department determines that the applicant is lawfully entitled to a license. Existing law specifies the required contents of a driver’s license, including a fullface engraved picture or photograph of the licensee.
This bill would require the department, for purposes of the engraved picture or photograph, to allow a licensee to request that more than one, but not more than 3, photographs be taken onsite at the department field office and select which the photograph shall
to be used on his or her license. The bill would also require the
department to establish guidelines for licensees to have the photographs taken at an offsite location, through a private vendor who meets requirements established by the department, and to supply the selected photograph to the department for placement on his or her driver’s license. The bill would require the department to establish a fee reasonable fee, not to exceed $5, for each additional photograph requested, as specified, requested and would require the department to deposit the revenue derived from the additional fees into the Motor Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund. Moneys deposited into that account
pursuant to the bill would be used by the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to support driver education and training programs. The bill would require the department to adopt regulations to implement its provisions by _____. January 1, 2020.
