House committee substitute to the 2nd edition replaces the prior edition in its entirety with the following. 

Expands the actions that can be done for a driver’s licenses remotely under GS 20-7(f) to include issuing full provisional licenses. Expands the types of licenses that a license holder can possess to be eligible for remote licensed renewal, issuance, or conversion under the statute to include a valid limited provisional license so long as the holder is at least 16 years old but less than 18 years old at the time of the remote issuance. Now requires that the license holder have previously renewed their license in person and included a new color photograph for the person to be able to renew their license remotely (was, just in-person renewal). Also permits a license holder to remotely renew a license a second consecutive time if: (1) the license being renewed is not REAL ID compliant or (2) the license being renewed is REAL ID compliant but is being converted to a non-REAL ID compliant license for purposes of the renewal. Makes technical, organizational, and conforming changes. Removes the requirement that holders of a provisional license who are at least 16 but less than 18 years old complete a driving log under GS 20-11 in order to obtain a full provisional license. Makes conforming change to account for the fact that those persons are able to obtain provisional licenses remotely under the act’s changes to GS 20-7. Repeals Part V (authorizing remote driver's license renewals of active-duty military and their families) of SL 2025-72.

Applies to licenses issued or renewed on or after the act becomes law.

Makes conforming changes to act's titles.
