AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure access to state IDs for low-income people by exempting them from application fees for driver's licenses and non-driver identification cards. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to state that no fees shall be charged for these applications for individuals at or below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. This measure is intended to make it more affordable for low-income individuals to obtain the necessary identification documents required for various purposes, such as accessing social services, opening bank accounts, and exercising the right to vote.
