AN ACT To require applicants for drivers licenses to sign an antilittering pledge.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 20‑7(b1) reads as rewritten:
"(b1)	Application. – To obtain an identification card, learners permit, or drivers license from the Division, a person shall complete an application form provided by the Division, present at least two forms of identification approved by the Commissioner, be a resident of this State, and, except for an identification card, demonstrate his or her physical and mental ability to drive safely a motor vehicle included in the class of license for which the person has applied.  At least one of the forms of identification shall indicate the applicant's residence address.  The Division may copy the identification presented or hold it for a brief period of time to verify its authenticity.  To obtain an endorsement, a person shall demonstrate his or her physical and mental ability to drive safely the type of motor vehicle for which the endorsement is required.
The application form shall request all of the following information, and it shall contain the disclosures concerning the request for an applicant's social security number required by section 7 of the federal Privacy Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93‑579:
(1)	The applicant's full name.
(2)	The applicant's mailing address and residence address.
(3)	A physical description of the applicant, including the applicant's sex, height, eye color, and hair color.
(4)	The applicant's date of birth.
(5)	The applicant's valid social security number.
(6)	The applicant's signature.
(7)	Require the applicant to sign a pledge stating: "I will not litter."
If an applicant does not have a valid social security number and is ineligible to obtain one, the applicant shall swear to or affirm that fact under penalty of perjury. In such case, the applicant may provide a valid Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the Internal Revenue Service to that person.
The Division shall not issue an identification card, learners permit, or drivers license to an applicant who fails to provide either the applicant's valid social security number or the applicant's valid Individual Taxpayer Identification Number."
SECTION 2.  G.S. 20‑7(n) reads as rewritten:
"(n)	Format. – A drivers license issued by the Division must be tamperproof and must contain all of the following information:
(1)	An identification of this State as the issuer of the license.
(2)	The license holder's full name.
(3)	The license holder's residence address.
(4)	A color photograph of the license holder, taken by the Division.
(5)	A physical description of the license holder, including sex, height, eye color, and hair color.
(6)	The license holder's date of birth.
(7)	An identifying number for the license holder assigned by the Division. The identifying number may not be the license holder's social security number.
(8)	Each class of motor vehicle the license holder is authorized to drive and any endorsements or restrictions that apply.
(9)	The license holder's signature.
(10)	The date the license was issued and the date the license expires.
(11)	The following words above the license holder's signature:  "I will not litter."
The Commissioner may waive the requirement of a color photograph on a license if the license holder proves to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that taking the photograph would violate the license holder's religious convictions.  In taking photographs of license holders, the Division must distinguish between license holders who are less than 21 years old and license holders who are at least 21 years old by using different color backgrounds or borders for each group.  The Division shall determine the different colors to be used.
At the request of an applicant for a drivers license, a license issued to the applicant must contain the applicant's race."
SECTION 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
