AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  authorizing
  forms of licenses to include blood types

  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 THAT EVERY LICENSE OR RENEWAL THEREOF SHALL  CONTAIN  A  DISTIN-
GUISHING  NUMBER  OR  MARK  AND ADEQUATE SPACE UPON WHICH THE LICENSEE'S
BLOOD TYPE MAY BE RECORDED AT THE OPTION  OF  THE  LICENSEE,  AND  SHALL
CONTAIN  SUCH  OTHER INFORMATION AND SHALL BE ISSUED IN SUCH FORM AS THE
COMMISSIONER, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE  COMMISSIONER  OF  HEALTH,  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. 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 ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
repeal of any rule or regulation necessary  for  the  implementation  of
this  act  on  its  effective date is authorized to be made on or before
such effective date.
