SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Bill 599 allows a person who is a New Mexico resident to be issued an identification card even if they also have a New Mexico driver’s license.

 

     Significant Issues

 

If an individual is willing to pay for the issuance of an identification card, even if he has a driver’s license, he should be permitted to have the identification card.

 

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS

 

There will be some minor change in forms.  However, staff will not have to check whether an individual applying for an identification card already has a driver’s license.
