Bill Summary
To provide identification to homeless youth and families
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide identification cards to homeless youth and families in Massachusetts. It requires the state's registrar to establish a process for people who are homeless or unaccompanied homeless youth to apply for a Massachusetts identification card and waive any associated fees. The bill defines "homeless" as per the 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 guardian and lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The registrar and state secretary are required to enter into an agreement to implement this provision.
