How many times do you wish you could change the photo on your drivers license?

Well, the good news is: lawmakers are considering legislation that seeks to give residents multiple chances at taking a decent driver's license photo.

the bad news: Right now its only being sought after in California...you know, the state where everyone needs to look good all the time...lol

If approved, AB-2045 would allow California residents to take up to three shots at getting their legal photo right. "The bill would require the department to establish a voluntary donation, not to exceed $5, for each additional photograph requested," says the bill's author, Assemblyman Phillip Chen. "It would require the department to deposit the revenue derived from the donations into the Motor Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund."

What's that? The transportation fund is used to support driver education programs.

If the bill is approved, it would go into effect January 1st of next year. But don't start planning your re-shoots just yet; a similar bill introduced in 2018 was rejected.

Maybe it will start in CA...and work its way to Florida.

I found the story on a local tv station in CA CBSLocal.com
