Bill Summary

Relative to the use of learner’s permits or junior operator licenses as government identification. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to issue two types of junior operator licenses and learner's permits: one that is compliant with the federal REAL ID Act and can be used for federal identification purposes, and one that is a Massachusetts-only license/permit that cannot be used for federal identification. The bill also specifies requirements for issuing these licenses and permits, including verifying lawful presence in the United States, and allows the RMV to issue temporary licenses and permits of less than 60 or 24 months, respectively, to those with limited authorized stays in the U.S. Additionally, the bill expands the types of identification that can be used to purchase alcohol, including REAL ID-compliant learner's permits.
