Missouri HB2509 allows driver's license applicants to voluntarily identify their race, ethnicity, or national origin.

Missouri HB2509 amends the state's driver's license application process to include an option for applicants to voluntarily identify their race, ethnicity, or national origin. This information will not be printed on the license but will be provided to other branches or agencies of state government for use in research activities and producing statistical reports, as long as the information is aggregated or anonymized. The bill also includes provisions for educational materials on driving hazards, donation options for various state programs, and rules for license denial and renewal.
