Bill Summary
For legislation to provide identification to youth and adults experiencing homelessness. Transportation.
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 individuals 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 old or younger who is not in the physical custody or care of a parent or legal guardian and lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The Registrar and the Secretary of State are required to enter into a memorandum of understanding to implement this new process.
