Bill Summary
To provide identification to youth and adults experiencing homelessness
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide identification to youth and adults experiencing homelessness. It amends the existing law 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 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 state secretary are required to enter into a memorandum of understanding to implement this new process.
