   44  
   45         WHEREAS, the Legislature finds that the federal REAL ID Act
   46  of 2005 has created an undue hardship for many residents of this
   47  state due to the excessive documents that must be produced to
   48  obtain or renew a driver license or identification card, most
   49  notably, women who have changed their names due to marriage,
   50  divorce, or by being widowed, and
   51         WHEREAS, the cost to comply with the REAL ID Act as enacted
   52  in this state in 2008 is excessive, and
   53         WHEREAS, not all residents desire to obtain a federal
   54  identification card that must be used to access federal
   55  facilities, board federally regulated commercial aircraft, enter
   56  nuclear power plants, or for other purposes as determined by the
   57  Secretary of Homeland Security, as required by the REAL ID Act,
   58  and
   59         WHEREAS, Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005 allows a state
   60  to “opt out” of creating a federal driver license or
   61  identification card by continuing to issue a regular driver
   62  license or identification card if it is marked appropriately,
   63  and
   64         WHEREAS, in 2013, the Legislature passed HB 7059, chapter
   65  2013-1, Laws of Florida, to give relief to foreign tourists from
   66  excessive driver license regulation and passed House Bill 235 to
   67  give relief to certain immigrants by a federal “Deferred Action”
   68  letter, and
   69         WHEREAS, in 2014, House Bill 53 proposes to assist
   70  convicted criminals in obtaining the documents needed to obtain
   71  a REAL ID, and
   72         WHEREAS, such relief has not benefited the residents of
   73  this state in the process of obtaining or renewing their
   74  licenses or identification cards, and these residents have not
   75  been afforded equal treatment before the law as required by s.
   76  2, Article I of the State Constitution, and
   77         WHEREAS, it is necessary and proper to give similar relief
   78  to the residents of this state, NOW, THEREFORE,
   79  
   80  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   81  
   82         Section 1. Legislative Intent.—Notwithstanding any other
   83  law, it is the intent of the Legislature to fully comply with
   84  Title II of the federal REAL ID Act of 2005 but also to provide
   85  an option for residents to opt out of such requirements and, in
   86  doing so, minimize any cost or inconvenience to residents of
   87  this state who wish to obtain or renew a driver license or
   88  identification card.
   89         Section 2. Subsections (47) and (48) are added to section

  373  assigned to the licensee; and the licensee’s full name, date of
  374  birth, and residence address; a brief description of the
  375  licensee, including, but not limited to, the licensee’s gender
  376  and height; and the dates of issuance and expiration of the
  377  license. A space shall be provided upon which the licensee shall
  378  affix his or her usual signature. A license is invalid until it
  379  has been signed by the licensee except that the signature of the
  380  licensee is not required if it appears thereon in facsimile or
  381  if the licensee is not present within the state at the time of
  382  issuance.
  383         Section 6. Subsections (1) and (4) of section 322.142,
  384  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  390  color photographic or digital imaged driver license bearing a
  391  fullface photograph or digital image of the licensee. A Florida
  392  nonfederal driver license may not use a photograph capable of
  393  being used for automated facial recognition purposes.
  394  Notwithstanding chapter 761 or s. 761.05, the requirement for a
  395  fullface photograph or digital image of the licensee may not be
  396  waived. A space shall be provided upon which the licensee shall
  397  affix his or her usual signature, as required in s. 322.14, in
  398  the presence of an authorized agent of the department so as to
  399  ensure that such signature becomes a part of the license.

  401  file. The department shall maintain a record of the digital
  402  image and signature of the licensees, together with other data
  403  required by the department for identification and retrieval,
  404  except as prohibited under s. 322.1787. Reproductions from the
  405  file or digital record are exempt from the provisions of s.
  406  119.07(1) and shall be made and issued only:
  407         (a) For departmental administrative purposes;

  418         (f) To the Department of Revenue pursuant to an interagency
  419  agreement for use in establishing paternity and establishing,
  420  modifying, or enforcing support obligations in Title IV-D cases;
  421         (g) To the Department of Children and Families pursuant to
  422  an interagency agreement to conduct protective investigations

  425  an interagency agreement specifying the number of employees in
  426  each of that department’s regions to be granted access to the
  427  records for use as verification of identity to expedite the
  428  determination of eligibility for public assistance and for use
  429  in public assistance fraud investigations;
  430         (i) To the Department of Financial Services pursuant to an
  431  interagency agreement to facilitate the location of owners of
  432  unclaimed property, the validation of unclaimed property claims,
  433  and the identification of fraudulent or false claims;
  434         (j) To district medical examiners pursuant to an
  435  interagency agreement for the purpose of identifying a deceased
  436  individual, determining cause of death, and notifying next of
  437  kin of any investigations, including autopsies and other
  438  laboratory examinations, authorized in s. 406.11; or

  453         (1) Notwithstanding any other law, under Title II of the
  454  federal REAL ID Act, the department shall issue a Florida
  455  nonfederal driver license or identification card to residents of
  456  this state who do not wish to obtain Florida federal

  460  of Homeland Security.
  461         (a) Florida nonfederal driver license or identification
  462  cards must be prominently marked “May not be accepted by any
  463  federal agency as identification.
  464         (b) The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
  465  States shall be prominently printed on the back of each Florida

  467  read:
  468         The powers not delegated to the United States by the
  469         Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
  470         reserved to the States respectively, or to the
  471         people.
  472         (c) Florida nonfederal identification may not contain a
  473  noncontact electronic authentication, a radio frequency
  474  identification, a microchip, or a digital facial capture. A

  479  change his or her licensure or cardholder status from “Florida
  480  federal” to “Florida nonfederal” for the cost of a replacement
  481  license or identification card. If the resident elects Florida
  482  nonfederal status, the department shall securely destroy any
  483  documents and digital facial captures that were obtained from
  484  the resident and issue Florida nonfederal identification as
  485  described in this section.
  486         (3) A Florida nonfederal identification is valid for 8
  487  years.
  488         (4) A resident of this state who was unable to or refused

  493  citizens.
