SEC. 706. (a) Section 7 of the District of Columbia Public Assistance Act of 1962 (D.C. Code, sec. 3-206) is amended by inserting " (a) " immediately after "SEC. 7." and by adding at the end of the section the following: " (b) After determining that a person is eligible to receive public assistance, the Commissioner shall issue to such person a public assistance identification card which shall be used hj such person, in obtaining any public assistance, as a means of identifying him as the proper recipient of such public assistance. The public assistance identification card shall contain the name, social security number, and account or case number of the recipient to whom such card was issued. "(c) The Commissioner may by regulation prescribe additional uses and requirements with respect to the issuance and use of the public assistance identification card as he deems necessary. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require recipients of public assistance to receive their monthly allotment checks in person at one central location. The Commissioner shall by regulation establish such means of distribution of such checks which, utilizing the public assistance identification card, will insure the least amount of fraud and loss of such checks without unduly burdening the recipients of such checks. " (d) Any person who sells a public assistance identification card, or otherwise permits any person other than the recipient to whom it was issued to use such card to obtain public assistance to which such user is not otherwise eligible to receive, shall be fined not more than $500, or imprisoned for not longer than one year, or both." (b) Section 17(a) of such Act (D.C. Code, sec. 3-216(a)) is amended by striking out the "or" at the end of clause (2) and inserting immediately after clause (3) the following: "or, (4) a public assistance identification card;" SEC. 707.

SEC, 708. (a) Section 4(b) of the District of Columbia Minimum Wage Act (D.C. Code, sec. 36-404(b)) is amended— (1) by inserting "or" at the end of paragraph (4), (2) by striking out "; or" at the end of paragraph (5) and inserting in lieu thereof a period, and (3) by striking out paragraph (6).
