2007 House Bill 4527

House Roll Call 72: Passed

To provide opportunities for prisoners to obtain identification documents that will make it possible for them to get a state personal identification card or drivers license when they are released, and require the Department of Corrections to assist them. The bill would also require the department to give the Secretary of State access to its records to help verify prisoners’ identities, and would establish a restricted fund to pay for these activities. The bill is part of a package comprised of House Bills 4525 to 4528 and 5568, which are intended to make it easier for released prisoners to get identification.
