data, medication data, or a statement that the individual is deaf.
(19) If an applicant provides proof to the secretary of state
that he or she is a minor who has been emancipated under 1968 PA

An individual who has agreed to participate in the donor registry
shall not be considered to have revoked that agreement solely
because the individual's official state personal identification
card has expired. Enrollment in the donor registry constitutes a
legal agreement that remains binding and in effect after the
donor's death regardless of the expressed desires of the deceased
donor's next of kin who may oppose the donor's anatomical gift.
(21) A valid official state personal identification card
presented by the individual to whom the card is issued shall be
considered the same as a valid state of Michigan driver license
when identification is requested except as otherwise specifically
provided by law.

after the date it is enacted into law.
