Texas SB215 mandates the Department of Public Safety to create and implement a digital identification program. This program will offer digital versions of driver's licenses, handgun licenses, and hunting or fishing licenses. The digital identification must be presented on a wireless communication device and include specific information. The department may charge up to $5 for issuing digital identification. Digital identification must be accepted as proof of identity like a physical driver's license but cannot be used for voting. The program must be operational by September 1, 2026.
