                                                                                     REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 877 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor:  Senator Wayne A. Schmidt

Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

CONTENT

The bill would amend Public Act 222 of 1972, which governs the form, issuance, and use of an official State identification (ID) card, to specify that, notwithstanding certain provisions of the Act related to a card's expiration, an ID expiring between February 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020, would be considered valid until June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would not have a significant fiscal impact on the Department of State, as the fees from renewals of State ID cards eventually will be collected by the Department, albeit at a later date than normal.

Regarding late fees, the Department could see a decrease in revenue as the Department of State would not assess a late fee at renewal for a license or registration that expired between February 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020, so long as renewal occurs by June 30, 2020 (as stated

in Executive Order 2020-47). On average, the Department of State collects an estimated $965,000 per month in late fees, a portion of which come from late fees for renewals of State ID cards.
