AI Summary

This bill aims to provide identification cards to homeless youth and families in Massachusetts. It amends the state's laws to establish an exceptions process by which individuals who are homeless, unaccompanied homeless youth, or otherwise unable to meet the standard ID requirements can apply for a Massachusetts identification card and have the associated fees waived. The bill defines "homeless" as per 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 legal guardian and lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.
