AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to establish a process for homeless individuals and unaccompanied homeless youth to apply for a Massachusetts identification card and have any associated fees waived. The bill defines "homeless" as per the federal Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and "unaccompanied homeless youth" as a person 24 years or younger who is not in the custody of a parent or legal guardian and lacks a stable living situation. The bill allows these individuals to provide documentation from service providers or state agencies as proof of residency to obtain the identification card.
