AI Summary

This bill aims to provide identification cards to youth and adults experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. It requires the Registrar of Motor Vehicles 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 having the same meaning as in the federal Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and "unaccompanied homeless youth" as a person 24 years of age 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 the Secretary of State will enter into a memorandum of understanding to implement this new identification process.
