(19) No later than January 1, 2017, the secretary of state
shall develop and shall, in conjunction with the department of
state police, implement a process using the L.E.I.N. or any other
appropriate system that limits access to law enforcement that
allows law enforcement agencies of this state to access emergency
contact information that the holder of an official state personal
identification card has voluntarily provided to the secretary of
state. As used in this subsection, "emergency contact information"
means the name, telephone number, or address of an individual that
is used for the sole purpose of contacting that individual when the
holder of an official state personal identification card has been
involved in an emergency.
(20) If an applicant provides proof to the secretary of state
that he or she is a minor who has been emancipated under 1968 PA
293, MCL 722.1 to 722.6, the official state personal identification
card must bear the designation of the individual's emancipated
status in a manner prescribed by the secretary of state.
(21) The secretary of state shall inquire of each individual
who applies for or who holds an official state personal
identification card, in person or by mail, whether he or she agrees
to participate in the anatomical gift donor registry under part 101
of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.10101 to 333.10123.
An individual who has agreed to participate in the donor registry
is not considered to have revoked that agreement solely because the
individual's official state personal identification card has
expired. Enrollment in the donor registry is 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.
(22) A valid official state personal identification card
presented by the individual to whom the card is issued is
considered the same as a valid state of Michigan driver license
when identification is requested except as otherwise specifically
provided by law.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
