A BILL
To amend section 4507.13 of the Revised Code to allow
a notation on a driver's license that the licensee
has suffered a traumatic brain injury.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4507.13 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4507.13. (A) The registrar of motor vehicles shall
issue a driver's license to every person licensed as an operator
of motor vehicles other than commercial motor vehicles. No
person
licensed as a commercial motor vehicle driver under
Chapter 4506.
of the Revised Code need procure a driver's
license, but no person
shall drive any commercial motor vehicle
unless licensed as a
commercial motor vehicle driver.
Every driver's license shall display on it the distinguishing
number assigned to the licensee and shall display the licensee's
name
and date of birth;
the licensee's residence address and
county of
residence; a color photograph of the licensee; a brief
description
of the
licensee for the purpose
of identification; a
facsimile of
the signature of the licensee
as it appears on the
application for
the license; a notation, in a
manner
prescribed by
the registrar, indicating
any condition
described in
division
(D)(3) of section 4507.08 of the
Revised
Code
to which
the
licensee is subject; a notation, in a manner prescribed by the
registrar, indicating that the licensee has suffered a traumatic
brain injury, if the licensee requests the notation and provides
documentation of the injury as required by the registrar; if the
licensee 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 licensee
wishes the license
to indicate that
the
licensee has
executed
either type of
instrument, any symbol
chosen by the
registrar to
indicate that
the licensee has executed
either type
of instrument;
on and after
October 7, 2009, if the
licensee has specified that the
licensee
wishes
the license to
indicate that the licensee is a veteran,
active duty, or
reservist of
the
armed forces of the United
States and
has
presented a copy of
the licensee's DD-214 form or
an
equivalent
document, any symbol
chosen by the registrar to
indicate that
the licensee is a veteran, active duty, or reservist
of
the
armed forces of the United
States; and any
additional
information that the registrar
requires
by
rule.
No license
shall
display the
licensee's social
security
number unless the licensee
specifically requests
that the
licensee's social security number
be displayed on the license.
If
federal law requires the
licensee's social security number to
be
displayed
on the license,
the social security number shall be
displayed on the license
notwithstanding
this section.
The driver's license for licensees under twenty-one years of
age shall have
characteristics prescribed by the registrar
distinguishing it from that issued
to a licensee who is twenty-one
years of age or older, except that a
driver's license issued to a
person who applies no more than thirty days
before the applicant's
twenty-first birthday shall have the characteristics of
a license
issued to a person who is twenty-one years of age
or older.
The driver's license issued to a temporary resident shall
contain the word
"nonrenewable" and shall have any additional
characteristics prescribed by the
registrar distinguishing it from
a license issued to a resident.
Every driver's or commercial driver's license displaying
a
motorcycle operator's endorsement and every restricted license to
operate a motor vehicle also shall display the designation
"novice," if the endorsement or license is issued to a person who
is
eighteen years of age or older and previously has not been
licensed to operate a motorcycle by this state or another
jurisdiction recognized by this state. The "novice" designation
shall be effective for one year after the date of issuance of the
motorcycle operator's endorsement or license.
Each license issued under this section shall be of such
material and so designed as to prevent its reproduction or
alteration without ready detection and, to this end, shall be
laminated with a transparent plastic material.
(B) Except in regard to a driver's license 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 a driver's license to anyone under
twenty-one years of age that does not
have the characteristics
prescribed by the registrar distinguishing it from
the driver's
license issued to persons who are twenty-one years of age or
older.
(C)
Whoever violates division (B) of this section is
guilty
of a minor misdemeanor.
Section 2. That existing section 4507.13 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
