This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law prohibits an officer from taking acknowledgment of an instrument regarding the transfer of title to property unless the officer has satisfactory evidence that the person making the acknowledgment is the individual who is described in and who executed the instrument. Existing law provides that satisfactory evidence for purposes of that provision may include reasonable reliance on the presentation of any one of certain documents, including a driver's license, passport, or identification card, as specified. This bill would add Matricula consular, a form of identification card issued by the Mexican government, to that list of documents.
