SECTION 1. Section 286-111, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

"§286-111 Application for license, provisional license, or instruction permit; fees. (a) Every application for an instruction permit, provisional license, or driver's license shall be made upon a form furnished by the examiner of drivers and shall be verified by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths. The examiner of drivers and officers serving under the examiner may administer the oaths without charge. Each application for an instruction permit for a category (1), (2), (3), or (4) license shall be accompanied by a fee to be determined by the council of each county and each application for a provisional license or driver's license shall be accompanied by the fee, unless the applicant has already paid the fee upon application for an instruction permit in the same county, in which event no fee shall be charged. An additional fee to be determined by the council of each county shall be charged and collected upon the issuance of a provisional license or driver's license. All of the foregoing fees shall become county realizations.

(b) The director of transportation shall establish a fee schedule for all commercial driver's licensing examinations. The fees collected for a commercial driver's license shall become state realizations and deposited in the state highway fund. The State shall reimburse the counties all costs for administering the commercial driver's licensing program. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by the director of transportation.

(c) Every application shall state the full name, date of birth, sex, occupation, social security number if the applicant is eligible for a social security number, the residence address and business address, if any, of the applicant, and shall briefly describe the applicant, and shall state whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed as a driver, and, if so, when and in what state or country, and whether any such license has ever been suspended or revoked, or whether an application has ever been refused, and if so, the date of and reason for the suspension, revocation, or refusal.

(d) If the applicant is not eligible to receive a social security number, the applicant shall submit, in lieu of providing proof of social security number pursuant to subsection (c):

(1) A United States Social Security Administration letter stating that the applicant is ineligible to obtain a social security number; and

(2) Either:

(A) A government-issued photo identification document; or

(B) Other identification documents as deemed acceptable by the director.

(e) In the case of persons who are at least sixteen years of age but under the age of eighteen, the application for an instruction permit or provisional license shall be made upon a form that requires the information set forth in section 11-15(a) not already required by subsection (c) and that shall serve to automatically register the person to vote upon reaching age eighteen."

SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval; provided that the amendments made by this Act shall not be repealed when Act 72, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, is repealed on January 9, 2011.
