To repeal section 302.181, RSMo Supp. 1996, relating to motor vehicles, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the same subject.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, AS FOLLOWS:

     Section A. Section 302.181, RSMo Supp. 1996, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 302.181, to read as follows:

     302.181. 1. The license issued pursuant to the provisions of sections 302.010 to 302.340 shall be in such form as the director shall prescribe, but the license shall be a card made of plastic or other comparable material. All licenses shall be manufactured of materials and processes that will prohibit, as nearly as possible, the ability to reproduce, alter, counterfeit, forge or duplicate any license without ready detection. All licenses shall bear the licensee's social security number, if the licensee has one, and if not, a notarized affidavit must be signed by the licensee stating that the licensee does not possess a social security number, or, if applicable, a certified statement must be submitted as provided in subsection 4 [or 5] of this section. The license shall also bear the expiration date of the license, the classification of the license, the name, date of birth, residence address including the county of residence or a code number corresponding to such county established by the department, and brief description and colored photograph of the licensee, and a facsimile of the signature of the licensee. The director shall provide by administrative rule the procedure and format for a licensee to indicate on the back of the license together with the designation for an anatomical gift as provided in section 194.240, RSMo, the name and address of the person designated pursuant to sections 404.800 to 404.865, RSMo, as the licensee's attorney in fact for the purposes of a durable power of attorney for health care decisions. No license shall be valid until it has been so signed by the licensee. If any portion of the license is prepared by a private firm, any contract with such firm shall be made in accordance with the competitive purchasing procedures as established by the state director of the division of purchasing. For all licenses issued or renewed after March 1, 1992, the applicant's social security number shall serve as the applicant's license number. Where the licensee has no social security number, or where the licensee is issued a license without a social security number in accordance with subsection 4 [or 5] of this section, the director shall issue a license number for the licensee and such number shall also include an indicator showing that the number is not a social security number.

     2. All film involved in the production of photographs for licenses shall become the property of the department of revenue.

     3. The license issued shall be carried at all times by the holder thereof while driving a motor vehicle, and shall be displayed upon demand of any officer of the highway patrol, or any police officer or peace officer, or any other duly authorized person, for inspection when demand is made therefor. Failure of any operator of a motor vehicle to exhibit his or her license to any duly authorized officer shall be presumptive evidence that such person is not a duly licensed operator.

     4. The director of revenue shall issue a [commercial] driver's license without a social security number to an applicant therefor, who is otherwise qualified to be licensed, upon presentation to the director of a certified statement on forms prescribed and made available by the department of revenue which states that the applicant is a member of a specified religious denomination which prohibits the use of identification numbers by members as being contrary to its religious tenets.

     5. [The director of revenue shall issue a noncommercial driver's license without a social security number to an applicant therefor, who is otherwise qualified to be licensed, upon presentation to the director of a certified statement that the applicant objects to the display of the social security number on the license. The director shall assign an identification number, that is not based on a social security number, to the applicant which shall be displayed on the license in lieu of the social security number.

     6.] The director of revenue shall issue a license without the photograph to an applicant therefor, who is otherwise qualified to be licensed, upon presentation to the director of a certified statement on forms prescribed and made available by the department of revenue which states that the applicant is a member of a specified religious denomination which prohibits photographs of members as being contrary to its religious tenets. The license shall state thereon that no photograph is required because of the religious affiliation of the licensee. The director of revenue shall establish guidelines and furnish to each circuit court such forms as the director deems necessary to comply with this subsection. The circuit court shall not charge or receive any fee or court cost for the performance of any duty or act pursuant to this subsection.

     [7.] 6. The department of revenue may issue a temporary license without the photograph to out-of-state applicants and members of the armed forces, except that where such temporary license is issued it shall be valid only until the applicant shall have had time to appear and have his or her picture taken and a license with his or her photograph issued.

     [8.] 7. The department of revenue shall issue upon request a nondriver's license card containing essentially the same information as is on the driver's license upon payment of seven dollars and fifty cents if the applicant is under the age of sixty-five. An applicant who is sixty-five years of age or older may purchase a nondriver's license card without a photograph for one dollar or a nondriver's license card with a photograph for seven dollars and fifty cents. The nondriver's license card shall be used for identification purposes only and shall not be valid as a license.

     [9.] 8. No rule or portion of a rule promulgated [under] pursuant to the authority of this chapter shall become effective until it has been approved by the joint committee on administrative rules in accordance with the procedures provided herein, and the delegation of the legislative authority to enact law by the adoption of such rules is dependent upon the power of the joint committee on administrative rules to review and suspend rules pending ratification by the senate and the house of representatives as provided herein.

     [10.] 9. Upon filing any proposed rule with the secretary of state, the filing agency shall concurrently submit such proposed rule to the committee, which may hold hearings upon any proposed rule or portion thereof at any time.

     [11.] 10. A final order of rulemaking shall not be filed with the secretary of state until thirty days after such final order of rulemaking has been received by the committee. The committee may hold one or more hearings upon such final order of rulemaking during the thirty-day period. If the committee does not disapprove such order of rulemaking within the thirty-day period, the filing agency may file such order of rulemaking with the secretary of state and the order of rulemaking shall be deemed approved.

     [12.] 11. The committee may, by majority vote of the members, suspend the order of rulemaking or portion thereof by action taken prior to the filing of the final order of rulemaking only for one or more of the following grounds:

     (1) An absence of statutory authority for the proposed rule;

     (2) An emergency relating to public health, safety or welfare;

     (3) The proposed rule is in conflict with state law;

     (4) A substantial change in circumstance since enactment of the law upon which the proposed rule is based.

     [13.] 12. If the committee disapproves any rule or portion thereof, the filing agency shall not file such disapproved portion of any rule with the secretary of state and the secretary of state shall not publish in the Missouri Register any final order of rulemaking containing the disapproved portion.

     [14.] 13. If the committee disapproves any rule or portion thereof, the committee shall report its findings to the senate and the house of representatives. No rule or portion thereof disapproved by the committee shall take effect so long as the senate and the house of representatives ratifies the act of the joint committee by resolution adopted in each house within thirty legislative days after such rule or portion thereof has been disapproved by the joint committee.

     [15.] 14. Upon adoption of a rule as provided herein, any such rule or portion thereof may be suspended or revoked by the general assembly either by bill or, pursuant to section 8, article IV of the constitution, by concurrent resolution upon recommendation of the joint committee on administrative rules. The committee shall be authorized to hold hearings and make recommendations pursuant to the provisions of section 536.037, RSMo. The secretary of state shall publish in the Missouri Register, as soon as practicable, notice of the suspension or revocation.
