(a) All driver licenses shall bear a color photograph of the applicant furnished by the department or bear an endorsement that no photograph is required. No license issued shall be valid unless it bears this photograph or endorsement.
(b)
(1) The department shall begin developing a plan for implementation of a system for the issuance of plastic laminated driver licenses bearing thereon a color photograph of the licensee, which photograph shall be taken by or under the direction of the department.
(2) The department shall use such process or processes in the issuance of licenses that prohibit, as nearly as practicable, the ability to alter or reproduce the license or the ability to superimpose a photograph on the license without ready detection.
(3) This system shall permit the keeping of a copy of the actual driver license as issued.
(c) In the development and installation of a system for the issuance of licenses, the department shall establish regulations and standards for the evaluation of various processes and equipment available for this purpose, and shall provide an opportunity for each reliable and financially responsible company with such a process to demonstrate its process and equipment for the purpose of determining the best available process and equipment at the most economical price. Any contracts for the purchase of material and equipment required to implement this program shall be entered into in accordance with the competitive bid procedures provided for in title 12, chapter 3. The commissioner may solicit outside consulting services in order to accomplish on a competitive basis the design and application of the system and implementation thereof. The commissioner shall require a performance bond sufficient to guarantee the performance of any such lease or franchise contracts that may be entered into, the bond to be sufficient to protect the interests of the state and of the individual license purchasers.
