Bill > H3388

This bill aims to provide identification cards to youth and adults experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1. Establishing a process for people who are homeless or unaccompanied homeless youth to apply for a Massachusetts identification card and waive any associated fees. This process allows them to submit proof of residency through documentation from entities that provide housing or youth services, or evidence of services received from state health and human services agencies. 2. Defining "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 of a parent or legal guardian and lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The bill requires the Registrar of Motor Vehicles and the State Secretary to enter into a memorandum of understanding to implement these provisions.
