A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to require that licenses issued by the division of motor vehicles to individuals who are legally present in the United States for a limited duration of time bear a distinguishing mark or other designation to ensure compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 20‑7(s) reads as rewritten:
"(s) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (b1) of this section that an applicant present a valid social security number, the Division shall issue a drivers license of limited duration, under subsection (f) of this section, to an applicant present in the United States who holds valid documentation issued by, or under the authority of, the United States government that demonstrates the applicant's legal presence of limited duration in the United States if the applicant presents that valid documentation and meets all other requirements for a license of limited duration. Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (n) of this section addressing background colors and borders, a person issued a drivers license of limited duration under this section who is 21 years of age or older shall bear a distinguishing mark or other designation on the face of the license clearly denoting the limited duration of the license."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective August 1, 2011, and applies to drivers licenses issued on or after that date.
