SB 18-108

Senate Bill 18-108, also known as the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act, allows individuals who are not legally present in the United States but meet certain requirements to obtain a driver's license or identification card. The bill makes it possible for these individuals to use their Social Security number instead of a taxpayer identification card when applying. It also simplifies the process for replacing lost or stolen licenses without requiring renewal. This bill has been signed into law and will be implemented with funding from the state’s licensing services cash fund.

Official Summary

Currently, a person who is not lawfully present in the United States may obtain a driver's license or identification card if certain requirements are met. One of the requirements is that the person present a taxpayer identification card. The bill allows a person to present a social security number as an alternative to a taxpayer identification card. The bill allows the license or identification card to be reissued or renewed in accordance with the process used for other licenses and identification cards. A person whose license is lost or stolen may obtain a replacement without renewing the license. $108,992 is appropriated to the department of revenue from the licensing services cash fund to implement the bill.
