Amends the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide information to the Secretary of State of persons in its custody who will be discharged no later than 45 days after the submission of the identifying information in the mittimus to the Secretary of State. Provides that the Secretary of State shall issue a standard Illinois Identification Card in the name of the committed person who is to be discharged one week before the committed person's scheduled date of discharge. Provides that one week before the scheduled discharge of the committed person, the Department shall furnish the person with the standard Illinois Identification Card. Provides that neither the Secretary of State nor the Department shall charge a fee to the committed person for issuance of the Card. House Floor Amendment No. 1 Provides that immediately after the initial admission of a person to a correctional institution or facility of the Department of Corrections, the Department shall provide identifying information in the mittimus to the Secretary of State (rather than the Department shall provide information to the Secretary of State of persons in its custody who will be discharged no later than 45 days after the submission of the identifying information in the mittimus to the Secretary of State). Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Adds reference to: 730 ILCS 5/3-8-1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Identification Card Act. Provides that the Secretary of State shall issue a standard Illinois Identification Card to a person committed to the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice upon receipt of the person's birth certificate, social security card, photograph, proof of residency upon discharge, and an identification card application transferred via a secure method as agreed upon by the Secretary of State and the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice (rather than upon release on parole, mandatory supervised release, aftercare release, final discharge, or pardon from the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice, if the released person presents a certified copy of his or her birth certificate, social security card or other documents authorized by the Secretary, and 2 documents proving his or her Illinois residence address). Provides that Illinois residency shall be established by submission of a Secretary of State prescribed Identification Card verification form completed by the respective Department. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that no later than 45 days after a committed person is received by the Department, the Department shall begin the process of obtaining a certified copy of the person's birth certificate and a duplicate social security card if the person does not have access to those items. Provides that, 60 days before the scheduled discharge of a person committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections or upon receipt of the person's certified birth certificate and social security card as set forth in the Act, whichever occurs later, the Department shall transmit an application for an Identification Card to the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Illinois Identification Card Act.
