HB 2592 - DIGEST

Declares that it is critical that the true identity of persons who have been extended the privilege of driving within the state of Washington can be positively identified by their driver's licenses. The state has a compelling interest in ensuring the identity of a person who is applying for a driver's license, that someone who displays a driver's license is actually the person indicated on the license, and that the person is in compliance with the law.

Provides that, if the applicant is unable to prove his or her identity under RCW 46.20.035, the department shall not issue an identicard or Washington state driver's license.
