AB 1149

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 authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish a pilot program to evaluate the use of optional mobile or digital alternatives to driver’s licenses and identification cards, subject to certain requirements, and authorizes the pilot program to include the issuance of mobile or digital Real ID driver’s licenses or identification cards upon authorization of the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Existing law prohibits a person from possessing, or having under their control, more than one driver’s license. This bill would exempt from that multiple driver’s licenses prohibition a person who possesses, or otherwise has under their control, a digital driver’s license issued pursuant to the above-described pilot program and a physical driver’s license.
