 9 or learner's permit by the commissioner of motor vehicles, or whose
 10 driver's license or learner's permit is expired, suspended, revoked or
 11 surrendered, or whose identification card is expired, to obtain an iden-
 12 tification card prior to such incarcerated individual's release from a
 13 local correctional facility at the option of such incarcerated individ-

 18 incarcerated individual to apply for and obtain an identification card
 19 from the department of motor vehicles.
 20 4. (a) Prior to an incarcerated individual's release from a local
 21 correctional facility, the sheriff of such local correctional facility
 22 shall notify such incarcerated individual, verbally and in writing,
