§ 14-07 Issuance of Photo Identification Cards.
RCNY § 14-07
(a)A person wishing to apply for a photo identification card must provide the information required in the application form provided by the Commission, which form must be signed and certified under penalty of perjury by the applicant. The application must include, but not be limited to, the following information: name, address, and telephone number(s) of the applicant, the applicant's employment history, the applicant's business interests, and any other such information required by the Commission.
(b)Persons required to have photo identification cards must notify the Commission of any material change in the information submitted, pursuant to Subdivision (a) of this section, including without limitation, any change in employment, as well as any arrests or criminal convictions, except where such disclosure is protected by Subdivision 16 of Section 296 of Article 15 of the New York State Executive Law; and shall notify the Commission, in a signed and notarized writing, of any such change within ten (10) business days thereof.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this subchapter, the Commission may, when there is reasonable cause to believe that an applicant for or holder of a photo identification card does not possess good character, honesty, and integrity, require that such person be fingerprinted by a person designated for such purpose by the Commission, pay the fee prescribed by the Division of Criminal Justice Services for the purpose of obtaining criminal history records, and provide to the Commission the disclosure required by the form provided by the Commission. The Commission also may require such additional information in lieu of or in addition to such fingerprinting and/or disclosure, including without limitation documents and/or an in-person interview, as the Commission determines is appropriate and reasonable to render a determination.
(d)The Commission may refuse to issue a photo identification card for the reasons set forth in Subdivisions b, d, and e of § 22-259 of the Code or may defer a decision whether to issue such card when there is an indictment or a criminal or civil action pending against or involving the applicant as provided in Paragraph (b)(ii) of such section.
(e)Where the staff of the Commission recommends that the Commission refuse, pursuant to § 22-259 of the Code, to issue a photo identification card, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the reasons for the proposed refusal of such photo identification card and that the applicant may, within ten (10) business days of the date of such notification, respond in writing to the Commission setting forth the reasons such applicant believes that it should not be denied such photo identification card. In the exercise of its discretion, the Commission, considering the reasons for the proposed refusal to issue the photo identification card, the nature of the issues raised in connection therewith, and the response submitted by the applicant, may make a final determination regarding the issuance of such photo identification card or afford the applicant such further opportunity to be heard in such proceeding as is deemed appropriate. A final determination and the reasons therefor shall be communicated to the applicant in writing. (Amended City Record 3/6/2018, eff. 4/5/2018)
