Vehicles: driver's license applicant: organ and tissue donation.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a driver's license, as applied for, to a person the department determines to be lawfully entitled to the license. Existing law prescribes various fee amounts that are to be paid to the department upon application for an original or renewal license or identification card. Existing law also requires an application for an original or renewal driver's license or identification card to contain a space for the applicant to enroll in the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. This bill would require a person who enrolls in the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Registry when submitting an application for an original or renewal driver's license or identification card to receive a discount on the application fee in an unspecified amount. The bill would require the department to work with several federal agencies, including the United States Department of Health and Human Services to secure appropriate federal funding to implement the discount requirement. The bill would make the provisions operative when the Director of Motor Vehicles certifies that the department has secured the necessary federal funding to implement the discount requirement.
