The state Assembly passed a bill on Tuesday that will allow police electronic access to Wisconsin drivers' license photographs.

Under current state law, police anywhere in the country can look at the photos if they submit a written request to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

The bill would require the transportation department to make digital versions of each photograph available to police agencies through the state department of justice's computer network. Law enforcement agencies would submit electronic requests to view them.

The bill must pass the Senate and be signed by Governor Doyle before it becomes law.
