HOUSE BILL No. 6210
May 26, 2010, Introduced by Reps. Paul Scott, Opsommer and Amash and referred to the Committee on Transportation.
A bill to prohibit the inclusion of certain facilitative
technology devices in driver licenses; and to disallow state
participation in certain programs, compacts, or other agreements.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1. As used in this act:
(a) "Driver license" means an operator's or chauffeur's
license issued under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL
257.1 to 257.923, or any other noncommercial license that
authorizes an individual to operate a motor vehicle in this state,
and includes any personal identification card issued by the
secretary of state or its agents.
(b) "Facilitative technology" means an electronic radio
frequency identification or other device that stores information
and is designed to transmit that information by means of radio
waves to a reader or receiver. Facilitative technology also
includes any other device or application capable of having stored
information read by a reader or receiver if the device and receiver
can share information when there is not an ordinary line of clear
sight between the device and receiver as is typical with other
machine readable technologies such as magnetic strips or bar codes.
Sec. 3. This state, either on its own or when entering into
any program, compact, memorandum of understanding, or other
interstate, federal, or international agreement that would require
it, shall not embed, print, or otherwise incorporate facilitative
technology with a driver license regardless of the name or title
given to the program, compact, memorandum, or agreement.
Sec. 4. If this state enters into any program, compact,
memorandum of understanding, or other interstate, federal, or
international agreement that requires it to take actions in
violation of section 3, or finds itself in the future to be in
violation of section 3, the appropriate state bodies shall by the
force of law be immediately compelled to begin negotiations to
change the terms of any program or agreement so that the state is
no longer in violation. If, after 30 days, the program or agreement
has not been successfully negotiated, the state shall take steps
within an additional 30 days to terminate the agreement or
otherwise cease its participation.
