SENATE BILL
No. 947 Session of2009
INTRODUCED BY WAUGH, ALLOWAY, BRUBAKER, FERLO AND WASHINGTON, JUNE 5, 2009
REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION, JUNE 5, 2009
AN ACT
Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated
Statutes, further providing for the issuance of
identification cards.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Section 1510(b) of Title 75 of the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Statutes, amended November 26, 2008 (P.L.1658,
No.133), is amended to read:
§ 1510. Issuance and content of driver's license.
* * *
(b) Identification card.--The department shall, upon payment
of the required fee, issue an identification card to any person
[ten years] one year of age or older who has made application
therefor in such manner as the department shall prescribe or
whose driver's license has been surrendered to the department
because of a suspension or revocation of an operating privilege
under this or any other title. Program participants in the
Address Confidentiality Program under 23 Pa.C.S. Ch. 67 may use
a substitute address designated by the Office of Victim Advocate
as their address. Except as provided in subsection (j), the
identification card shall have substantially the same content as
a driver's license but shall clearly indicate that it is not a
driver's license. Upon failure of any person to pass any
examination required under section 1514 (relating to expiration
and renewal of drivers' licenses), the department shall, where
appropriate, issue a complimentary identification card as an
expression of gratitude for years of safe driving. The card
shall only be issued upon receipt of the person's driver's
license.
* * *
Section 2. This act shall take effect November 29, 2009.
