Ohio HB78 authorizes the use of digital driver's licenses or state ID cards.

Ohio HB78 amends the state's Revised Code to allow residents to use digital versions of their driver's licenses or state ID cards as valid proof of identity. The bill requires the registrar of motor vehicles to establish a program for issuing and managing digital licenses or IDs. It outlines procedures for verifying identity and ensuring the security of digital data. Digital licenses or IDs can be used in place of physical documents when requested by state employees, officials, or peace officers, provided certain conditions are met.
