What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill provides that a person may use an identification card issued by the Department of Transportation to establish residency for approvals issued by the Department of Natural Resources and requires DOT to provide DNR with access to DOT records for this purpose.
Under current law, DNR issues approvals that authorize the holder of the approval to engage in certain activities, such as hunting wild animals. In general, residents of the state are issued a different approval, for a lower fee, than nonresidents of the state. Current law provides that a resident is anyone who has maintained a permanent abode in the state for at least 30 days prior to applying for an approval, which must be established by demonstrating domiciliary intent. Under current law, evidence of domiciliary intent includes voting, paying personal income taxes, or obtaining a driver's license at a location in the state.

The bill provides that domiciliary intent may also be satisfied by obtaining an identification card issued by DOT. Under current law, an identification card issued by DOT is required to contain the same information that is required for an operator's license, including the license holder's name, address, and photograph, but must be clearly labeled as providing only identification of the card's holder.
Current law requires DOT to maintain current records of all identification card holders and generally prohibits DOT from disclosing the records to any person.
There are numerous exceptions to this prohibition, including disclosing information to the driver licensing agencies of other jurisdictions and to other state agencies for specified purposes. The bill requires DOT to provide DNR electronic access to identification card records for the purpose of verifying the residency of applicants for DNR approvals.
