Requires the department of revenue to provide a person who has certified his or her homelessness status with a free nondriver’s license
HB 3521 requires the Department of Revenue to issue free nondriver's licenses to individuals who certify their homelessness and residency status using a department-provided form. These licenses contain standard identification details (name, photo, address) and are valid solely for identification purposes, not driving. The bill specifically waives the standard $6 fee for homeless applicants while maintaining all other license requirements, such as photo verification for non-homeless individuals. This policy directly affects unhoused residents seeking a reliable form of state-issued ID. The law aims to provide accessible identification for a population often excluded from standard licensing processes.
