AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to allow individuals who are permanently disabled and reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or receive hospice care at home to receive a permanent state identification card without paying a fee. The identification card will use the facility's address as the resident's address and will not require renewal, provided the person remains in such a facility or care situation. Proof of permanent disability and residency will be required for this exemption, and if the person moves out of the facility, the standard fees and renewal requirements will apply. The bill also specifies that this new provision will take effect on July 1, 2026.
