HB0030

Amends Wyoming driver's license and identification card laws to modify renewal requirements for minors, add a replacement license fee, clarify hearing timelines, and update identification card contents.

• Requires licenses for persons under 21 years of age to expire no later than when the licensee turns 21, and mandates the department notify the licensee at least 90 days before their 21st birthday. Allows licensees to apply for a new license within 90 days of turning 21 upon payment of the proper fee and surrender of the original license. (W.S. 31-7-115(b))
• Establishes a $20.00 fee for replacement licenses issued when a license is lost, destroyed, or when the licensee requests to add or remove anatomical organ donation or medical alert designations. (W.S. 31-7-113(a)(xiii), W.S. 31-7-118)
• Allows the department to issue replacement licenses by mail or in person without examination if the original license does not expire within one year, the licensee's name has not legally changed, and the department has a digitized photograph and signature on record. The replacement license expires on the same date as the original license. (W.S. 31-7-118(b), W.S. 31-7-118(c))
• Clarifies that if a hearing examiner fails to schedule a contested case hearing within 45 days of receiving the certified record from the department (absent licensee request), the licensee receives credit against any upheld action for the time between the 45-day deadline expiration and when the hearing was first scheduled. (W.S. 31-7-105(e))
• Updates the identification card content requirements to include the text 'FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY' in addition to existing identification information. (W.S. 31-8-102(a)(vii))
• Repeals obsolete provisions in W.S. 31-7-113(a)(iv) and W.S. 31-7-119(e). (Section 2)
• Grants the department of transportation rulemaking authority to implement the provisions of this act. (Section 3)
