AN  ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to health care
  proxy information on driver's licenses

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 504 of the vehi-
cle and traffic law, as separately amended by chapters 568  and  639  of
the laws of 2006, is amended to read as follows:
  (a)  Every  license  or renewal thereof shall contain a distinguishing
mark and adequate space upon  which  an  anatomical  gift,  pursuant  to
section  forty-three hundred ten of the public health law, by the licen-
see shall be recorded and shall contain such other information and shall
be issued in such form as the commissioner  shall  determine;  provided,
however,  every  license or renewal thereof issued to a person under the
age of twenty-one years shall have prominently  imprinted  upon  it  the
statement  "UNDER  21  YEARS  OF  AGE"  in  notably distinctive print or
format; provided further, however,  every  license  or  renewal  thereof
issued  to  a  person  making  an anatomical gift shall have prominently
printed upon the front of such license or renewal thereof the  statement
"ORGAN  DONOR"  in  notably  distinctive  print  or format; AND PROVIDED
FURTHER THAT EVERY LICENSE SHALL HAVE IMPRINTED ON  THE  BACK,  "IF  YOU
HAVE  COMPLETED  A HEALTH CARE PROXY FORM, YOU MAY LIST YOUR HEALTH CARE
AGENT HERE:"  FOLLOWED BY SPACE FOR THE HEALTH  CARE  AGENT'S  NAME  AND
CONTACT  INFORMATION.  The  commissioner  shall not require fees for the
issuance of such licenses or renewals thereof to persons  under  twenty-
one  years  of  age  or  to  persons making an anatomical gift which are
different from the  fees  required  for  the  issuance  of  licenses  or
renewals  thereof  to  persons  twenty-one  years  of  age or over or to
persons not making an anatomical gift.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become law.

                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
