  Section 1. Subparagraph (i) of paragraph  (a)  and  paragraph  (b)  of

  (i) The commissioner shall upon submission of an appropriate  applica-
tion,  upon payment of the prescribed fee, and upon being satisfied that
the person described is the applicant and that such applicant meets  the

  (b) The identification card shall contain a distinguishing  number  or
mark and adequate space upon which an anatomical gift, pursuant to arti-
cle  forty-three of the public health law, by the holder may be recorded
and shall contain such other information and shall  be  issued  in  such
form as the commissioner shall determine; provided, however, every iden-
tification  card  or renewal thereof issued to a person under the age of
twenty-one years shall have prominently imprinted thereon the  statement
"UNDER  21  YEARS  OF  AGE"  in  notably  distinctive  print  or format.
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT EVERY IDENTIFICATION CARD ISSUED TO  AN
APPLICANT  WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES AND
RECEIVED ON HONORABLE DISCHARGE OR WAS RELEASED THEREFROM  UNDER  HONOR-
ABLE  CONDITIONS  SHALL, UPON HIS OR HER REQUEST AND SUBMISSION OF PROOF

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
