| ensure that a license issued to a person who is not a citizen of the | ||
| United States: | ||
| (1) has a substantially different design from a | ||
| license issued to a person who is a citizen; and | ||
| (2) displays the word "NONCITIZEN" on both the front | ||
| and back of the license. | ||

| person who is not a citizen of the United States must: | ||
| (1) have a substantially different design from a | ||
| personal identification certificate issued to a person who is a | ||
| citizen; and | ||
| (2) display the word "NONCITIZEN" on both the front | ||
| and back of the certificate. | ||
