AN ACT

To amend chapter 302, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to driver's licenses and identification for persons who are permanently disabled.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Chapter 302, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 302.182, to read as follows:

            302.182. 1. Any resident of this state who is permanently disabled may apply to the department of revenue to have a notation indicating such status on the person's driver's license or nondriver's license. The department of revenue, by rule, may establish the cost and criteria for placement of the notation, such as requiring an applicant to submit certain medical proof of permanent disability.

            2. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2009, shall be invalid and void.
