(19) No later than January 1, 2017, the secretary of state shall develop and shall, in conjunction with the department of state police, implement a process using the L.E.I.N. or any other appropriate system that limits access to law enforcement that allows law enforcement agencies of this state to access emergency contact information that the holder of an official state personal identification card has voluntarily provided to the secretary of state. As used in this subsection, “emergency contact information” means the name, telephone number, or address of an individual that is used for the sole purpose of contacting that individual when the holder of an official state personal identification card has been involved in an emergency.
(20) If an applicant provides proof to the secretary of state that he or she is a minor who has been emancipated under 1968 PA 293, MCL 722.1 to 722.6, the official state personal identification card must bear the designation of the individual’s emancipated status in a manner prescribed by the secretary of state.
(21) The secretary of state shall inquire of each individual who applies for or who holds an official state personal identification card, in person or by mail, whether he or she agrees to participate in the anatomical gift donor registry under part 101 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.10101 to 333.10123. An individual who has agreed to participate in the donor registry is not considered to have revoked that agreement solely because the individual’s official state personal identification card has expired. Enrollment in the donor registry is a legal agreement that remains binding and in effect after the donor’s death regardless of the expressed desires of the deceased donor’s next of kin who may oppose the donor’s anatomical gift.
(22) A valid official state personal identification card presented by the individual to whom the card is issued is considered the same as a valid state of Michigan driver license when identification is requested except as otherwise specifically provided by law.
