Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require county jails and local correctional facilities to provide felony offenders with a personal identification card or driver's license when they are released, if certain conditions are met. Having a government-issued ID is often a basic requirement for finding housing, employment, and accessing services, so this measure is aimed at helping people successfully reintegrate after incarceration. Who it may affect: felony offenders leaving county jails and local correctional facilities, and the jails and local governments responsible for carrying out the requirement.
