AI Summary
This bill would allow the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to waive the fee for a Massachusetts identification card for individuals who are homeless or unaccompanied homeless youth. The bill defines "homeless" as per the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, and "unaccompanied homeless youth" as a person 24 years of age or younger who is not in the physical custody or care of a parent or legal guardian and who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This legislation aims to provide identification to these vulnerable populations who may otherwise face barriers to obtaining a state ID.
