Bill Summary

Relative to the issuance of driver's licenses to certain persons unable to provide proof of lawful presence. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow persons who are unable to provide proof of lawful presence or are ineligible for a social security number to apply for a Massachusetts driver's license or identification card, as long as they meet other requirements and provide satisfactory proof of identity, date of birth, and Massachusetts residency. The bill also prohibits discrimination against individuals based on the type of license or ID they hold, with some exceptions related to federal employment verification requirements. Additionally, the bill restricts the disclosure of information collected during the application process and prohibits the use of a Massachusetts license or ID as evidence of the holder's citizenship, nationality, or immigration status.
