Michigan driver's licenses add security features

LANSING, Mich. - Michigan motorists getting new driver's licenses will notice a different look.

Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said Monday that new licenses will have better security features.
State licenses last were changed in 2003. The updated ones begin circulating later this month.
They'll feature an intricate line pattern and outline of the state of Michigan with the Great Lakes on the front, as well as the Mackinac Bridge. For drivers who have joined the Michigan Organ Donor Registry, a red heart and the word "donor" will appear on the card.
The card also will have the laser-perforated word "MICH" on it.
A new bar code will be on the back with encoded information available for law enforcement use.
The cost of the driver's licenses will remain the same.
