After examination the officer shall immediately return the
license to the licensee. For purposes of this section, "display"
of a digital driver's license means that a licensee may provide
access to the digital driver's license on the licensee's
portable electronic device. No law enforcement or judicial
officer demanding display of a licensee's digital driver's
license for any licensing or identification verification purpose
shall take custody of the licensee's portable electronic device.
Display of a digital driver's license shall not serve as consent
to search the driver's portable electronic device. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to require a person, other than
the department if it has chosen to issue a digital driver's
license, to accept a digital driver's license or otherwise
require the purchase of equipment to verify the accuracy of a
digital driver's license.
