A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

relating to state identification cards.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The purpose of this Act is to exempt individuals sixty-five years or older from the renewal process for state identification cards.

     SECTION 2.  Section 286-303, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:

     "(b)  [Application for renewal of an identification card issued after November 1, 1998, for an individual eighty years of age or older may be done by mailing in or electronically submitting a completed application and fee, if there is no change in name and citizenship status.]  The director shall adopt rules to allow for renewal by mail or electronic methods for individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities for whom application in person presents a serious burden.  For an individual who has a letter from a licensed primary care provider certifying that a severe disability causes the individual to be homebound, the director shall adopt rules allowing for application for renewal of an identification card under this section by means other than in-person appearance.  A non-compliant identification card shall be issued in accordance with section 286-301.5 for renewal applications not made in person."

     SECTION 3.  Section 286-306, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:

     "(a)  Every identification card issued under this part, whether an original or a renewal, shall bear an expiration date that shall be the date and month of the individual's birthday eight years after the year of issuance; provided that identification cards issued to an individual that will be sixty-five years of age or older before the scheduled renewal date under this section, shall be exempt from the expiration requirements of this section; provided further that if the individual is a legal nonimmigrant, the certificate shall bear an expiration date that is the same as the expiration date on the individual's arrival-departure record, CBP Form I-94.  A cardholder may renew the cardholder's identification card within six months before the day on which it expires by filing an application in accordance with section 286-303 and paying the prescribed fee [[]established[]] by rules of the director."

     SECTION 4.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 5.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
