AN ACT relating to identity documents.

Create a new section of KRS 186.400 to 186.640 to define "identity document" and "third-party entity"; require the Transportation Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations to establish procedures to allow third-party entities to apply to the Transportation Cabinet to be approved to accept applications for certain identity documents; set forth minimum standards for third-party issuance; and allow third-party entities to charge a fee for services provided.

This bill would allow the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to approve outside organizations to accept applications for certain identity documents, such as driver's licenses or state IDs, on the state's behalf. It sets minimum standards these outside groups must meet and allows them to charge applicants a fee for their services. This could make it easier for Kentuckians to apply for identity documents in more locations beyond standard state offices. Who it may affect: Kentuckians seeking driver's licenses or state-issued identity documents, particularly those who may have difficulty accessing Transportation Cabinet offices.
