A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO WAIVE THE FEE FOR SPECIAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS FOR HOMELESS PERSONS AND TO ABOLISH THE RESERVE FUND FOR FEES COLLECTED FOR SPECIAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-37.7(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d)	A special identification card issued under this section shall expire on the birth date of the holder in the fourth year of issuance.  The fee for the issuance or reissuance of a special identification card is the same as the fee set in G.S. 20-14 for issuing a duplicate license.  The fee does not apply to a special identification card issued to a resident of this State who is legally blind, is at least 70 years of age, or is homeless.  To obtain a special identification card without paying a fee, a homeless person must present a letter to the Division from the director of a facility that provides care or shelter to homeless persons verifying that the person is homeless.
  ."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
