Bill Driver's license; scanning information. Scanning information from driver's license. Allows a merchant to scan the machine-readable zone of an individual's Department of Motor Vehicles-issued identification card or driver's license in order to verify authenticity of the identification card or driver's license or to verify the identity of the individual when the individual requests a service pursuant to a membership or a service agreement. Currently, a merchant is allowed to conduct such a scan for identity verification purposes if the individual pays for goods or services with a method other than cash, returns an item, or requests a refund or an exchange. The measure also allows a merchant to retain information obtained from the machine-readable zone of the identification card or driver's license for such a verification purpose. However, the merchant must destroy the retained information when the purpose for which it was provided and retained has been satisfied. us/states/va Virginia General Assembly 2020 SB 101 Virginia SB 101 (2020)
