State identification for homeless persons; authorize.

HB 1408 would have allowed Mississippi to issue an alternative state identification card to homeless individuals without requiring proof of a fixed address, which is often unattainable for this population. The bill defined "homeless" as lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate residence, including those living in shelters or temporary accommodations. It amended state law to exempt homeless applicants from standard ID documentation requirements and authorized the Commissioner of Public Safety to create rules for this alternative card. The bill was introduced in 2026 but died in committee and did not become law.
