The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall consult with the Commissioner of Correction to establish a procedure to renew the operator's licenses and identity cards of persons who are incarcerated, without the appearance of such persons at the Department of Motor Vehicles, in accordance with subsection (b) of section 14-36d. Such renewal shall be initiated at the request of an incarcerated person who responds to a renewal notice for such person's operator's license or identity card. This section shall not apply to the initial issuance of an operator's license or identity card or the issuance of a license or identity card that has expired more than two years before the date of the requested renewal.

(P.A. 11-213, S. 59; P.A. 12-81, S. 20.)

History: P.A. 11-213 effective October 1, 2012; P.A. 12-81 replaced provision requiring Department of Motor Vehicles upon written request of incarcerated person to extend expiration date of such person's operator's license for 2 years or 30 days following incarceration release date, whichever occurs first, with provision requiring Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to consult with Commissioner of Correction to establish procedure to renew incarcerated person's operator's license or identity card upon request of such person and without such person appearing at the department and added provision making section inapplicable to initial issuance of license or card or issuance of license or card that expired more than 2 years before request.
