REPRESENTATIVE Carey
A BILL
To amend section 4507.52 of the Revised Code to
change
a scheduled deputy registrar fee increase relative
to
duplicate
or replacement identification cards
from $3.75 to $2.75, and to
declare an emergency.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4507.52 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4507.52. Each identification card issued by the
registrar of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar shall
display a
distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, and shall
display the following inscription: "STATE OF OHIO IDENTIFICATION CARDThis card is not valid for the purpose of operating a motor
vehicle. It is provided solely for the purpose of establishing
the identity of the bearer described on the card, who currently
is
not licensed to operate a motor vehicle in the state of Ohio." The identification card shall display substantially the
same
information as contained in the application and as described in
division (A)(1) of section 4507.51 of the Revised Code,
including
the cardholder's social security number unless the cardholder
specifically requests that the cardholder's social security number
not be
displayed on the card. If federal law requires the
cardholder's social
security number to be displayed on the
identification card, the social
security number shall be displayed
on the card notwithstanding a request to
not display the number
pursuant to this section. The identification card also
shall
display the color photograph of the cardholder. If
the cardholder
has executed a
durable power of attorney for health care or a
declaration
governing the use or continuation, or the withholding
or
withdrawal, of life-sustaining treatment and has specified that
the cardholder wishes the identification
card to indicate that the
cardholder has
executed either type of instrument, the card also
shall
display
any symbol chosen by the registrar to indicate that
the
cardholder has executed either type of instrument. The card
shall be sealed in transparent plastic or similar material and
shall be so designed as to prevent its reproduction or alteration
without ready detection. The identification card for persons under twenty-one years of
age shall have
characteristics prescribed by the registrar
distinguishing it from that issued
to a person who is twenty-one
years of age or older, except that an
identification card issued
to a person who applies no more than thirty days
before the
applicant's twenty-first birthday shall have the characteristics
of
an identification card issued to a person who is twenty-one
years of age or
older. Every identification card issued to a resident of this state
shall
expire, unless canceled or
surrendered earlier, on the
birthday of the cardholder in the
fourth year after the date on
which it is issued. Every identification
card issued to a
temporary resident shall expire in accordance with rules
adopted
by the registrar and is nonrenewable, but may be replaced with a
new
identification card upon the applicant's compliance with all
applicable
requirements. A cardholder
may renew the cardholder's
identification card within
ninety days prior to the day on which
it expires by filing an
application and paying the prescribed fee
in accordance with section 4507.50
of the Revised Code. If a cardholder applies for a driver's or commercial
driver's
license in this state or another licensing jurisdiction,
the
cardholder shall surrender the
cardholder's identification card to
the registrar or
any deputy registrar before the license is
issued. If a card is lost, destroyed, or mutilated, the person to
whom the card was issued may obtain a duplicate by doing both of
the following: (A) Furnishing suitable proof of the loss, destruction, or
mutilation to the registrar or a deputy registrar; (B) Filing an application and presenting documentary
evidence under section 4507.51 of the Revised Code. Any person who loses a card and, after obtaining a
duplicate,
finds the original, immediately shall surrender
the original to
the registrar or a deputy registrar. A cardholder may obtain a replacement identification card
that reflects any change of the cardholder's name by
furnishing
suitable proof
of the change to the registrar or a deputy
registrar and
surrendering the cardholder's existing card. When a cardholder applies for a duplicate or obtains a
replacement identification card, the cardholder shall
pay a fee of
two dollars
and fifty cents. A deputy registrar shall be allowed
an
additional fee of
three
two dollars
and seventy-five cents
commencing on July 1, 2001,
three dollars and twenty-five cents
commencing on January 1, 2003,
and three dollars and fifty cents
commencing on January 1, 2004,
for
issuing a duplicate or
replacement identification card.
A
disabled veteran who is a
cardholder and has a
service-connected
disability rated at one
hundred per cent by
the veterans'
administration may apply to
the
registrar or a deputy registrar
for the issuance of a
duplicate or
replacement identification card
without payment of
any fee
prescribed in this section, and without
payment of any
lamination
fee if the disabled veteran would not be
required to
pay a
lamination fee in connection with the issuance
of an
identification card or temporary identification card as
provided
in division (B) of section
4507.50 of the Revised
Code. A duplicate or replacement identification card shall expire
on the same date as the card it replaces. The registrar shall cancel any card upon determining that
the
card was obtained unlawfully, issued in error, or was
altered.
The
registrar also shall cancel any card that
is surrendered to
the
registrar or to a deputy registrar after the holder has
obtained a
duplicate, replacement, or driver's or commercial
driver's
license. No agent of the state or its political subdivisions shall
condition the granting of any benefit, service, right, or
privilege upon the possession by any person of an identification
card. Nothing in this section shall preclude any publicly
operated or franchised transit system from using an
identification
card for the purpose of granting benefits or
services of the
system. No person shall be required to apply for, carry, or possess
an identification card. (C) Except in regard to an identification card issued to a
person who applies no more than thirty days before the applicant's
twenty-first birthday, neither the registrar nor any deputy
registrar
shall issue an identification card to a person under
twenty-one years of age
that does not have the characteristics
prescribed by the registrar
distinguishing it from the
identification card issued to persons who are
twenty-one years of
age or older.
Section 2. That existing section 4507.52 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
Section 3. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, and safety. The reasons for the emergency are: (1)
that Am. Sub. H.B. 94 of the 124th General Assembly contains an
inadvertent error in the amount of the fee that a deputy registrar
must charge on and after July 1, 2001, for a duplicate or
replacement Ohio identification card, and (2) that, unless that
inadvertent error is corrected prior to that date, cardholders
will be required to pay one dollar more than was intended by the
General Assembly for each duplicate or replacement card they
request until January 1, 2003. Therefore, this act shall go into
immediate effect.
