mandatory supervised release, final discharge, pardon, or who
has been wrongfully imprisoned, the Department shall provide
the person who has met the criteria established by the

discharge, pardon, or wrongfully imprisoned, as the case may
be. The Department, in consultation with the Office of the
Secretary of State, shall prescribe the form of the
identification card, which may be similar to the form of the

sole responsibility of the committed person requesting the
identification card issued by the Department to meet the
established criteria. The person's failure to meet the criteria
is sufficient reason to deny the committed person the
identification card. An identification card issued by the
Department under this subsection shall be valid for a period of
time not to exceed 90 30 calendar days from the date the card
is issued. The Department shall not be held civilly or
criminally liable to anyone because of any act of any person
utilizing a card issued by the Department under this
subsection.
The Department shall adopt rules governing the issuance of
identification cards to committed persons being released on
parole, mandatory supervised release, final discharge, or
pardon.
