AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic  law,  in  relation  to  certain
  requirements for renewing a driver's license

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

  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section 502 of the  vehi-
cle  and   traffic law, as amended by chapter 81 of the laws of 1995, is
amended to read as follows:
  (a) A license issued pursuant to  subdivision  five  of  this  section
shall  be valid until the expiration date contained thereon, unless such
license is suspended, revoked or cancelled. Such license may be  renewed
by  submission of an application for renewal, the fee prescribed by law,
proofs of prior licensing, fitness and acceptable vision  prescribed  by
the  commissioner,  [the  applicant's  social  security  number,] and if
required by the commissioner a photo image  of  the  applicant  in  such
numbers  and form as the commissioner shall prescribe.  AN APPLICANT FOR
RENEWAL SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE  HIS  OR  HER  SOCIAL  SECURITY
NUMBER  OR  SHOW  A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD EVEN IF SUCH NUMBER OR CARD WAS
NOT PROVIDED TO THE DEPARTMENT IN A PREVIOUS TRANSACTION.  In  addition,
an  applicant  for  renewal of a license containing a hazardous material
endorsement shall pass an examination  to  retain  such  endorsement.  A
renewal  of  such  license  shall  be  issued  by  the commissioner upon
approval of such application, except  that  no  such  license  shall  be
issued  if  its  issuance  would  be inconsistent with the provisions of
section five hundred sixteen of this [chapter] TITLE,  and  except  that
the  commissioner  may  refuse to renew such license if the applicant is
the holder of a currently valid or renewable license to drive issued  by
another  state  or  foreign country unless the applicant surrenders such
license.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
have become a law.

                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
