HB1984

House Bill 1984 amends Arkansas law to require the identification of certain registered sex offenders on state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. Specifically, the bill mandates that applicants for a license or ID must disclose if they are required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act of 1997 and whether they are classified as a Level 3 or Level 4 sex offender. If an applicant meets these criteria, the Office of Driver Services is required to place a specific designation on their license or identification card. This designation is intended to assist law enforcement officers in identifying these individuals. The bill also authorizes the Office of Motor Vehicle to access registration records to facilitate this process and allows the Office of Driver Services to determine the design and placement of the marker.
