Bill > A01528

This bill modifies vehicle and traffic law provisions specifically for counties containing "boundary land," creating special exceptions for driver's license and learner's permit requirements. The bill expands acceptable forms of identification for non-commercial driver's licenses, allowing additional documentation like foreign passports, consular identification documents, and foreign driver's licenses in most counties, while creating a separate set of rules for counties with boundary land. The legislation also updates several administrative aspects of driver's license applications, including allowing applicants to choose from sex designations of M, F, or X, providing space to indicate veteran status, and offering an option to join the organ donor registry. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for commercial driver's license applicants, such as requiring medical certifications and setting standards for interstate commercial vehicle operation. The bill makes technical changes to how personal information on driver's licenses is recorded and maintained, with specific privacy protections for certain personal details. Notably, the bill uses the term "boundary land" multiple times, referencing section five of the state law, though the specific definition of this term is not provided in the bill text.
