(1)  the second anniversary of the date the license is issued to or renewed by a person that is not an individual; or
(2)  except as provided in Subsection (c):
(A)  for a license issued or renewed in an even-numbered year, the individual license holder's birthday each even-numbered year; or
(B)  for a license issued or renewed in an odd-numbered year, the individual license holder's birthday each odd-numbered year.
