GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1993 SESSION

CHAPTER 490
SENATE BILL 836

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 to a person for the first time under this section expires when a drivers license issued on the same day to that person would expire.  A special identification card renewed under this section expires when a drivers license renewed by the card holder on the same day would expire.
The fee for a special identification card is the same as the fee set in G.S. 20-14 for 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 old, 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.  Section 3 of Chapter 368 of the 1993 Session Laws is repealed.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 23rd day of July, 1993.
