Authorizes the issuance of identification cards by the Department of Health and Human Services to persons experiencing homelessness under certain circumstances. (BDR 38-671)
AB 220 creates a program for Nevada's Department of Health and Human Services to issue free identification cards to homeless residents aged 10 or older who do not hold a valid driver's license or ID from any state. Applicants must attest to experiencing homelessness and lack of other IDs, and provide proof of name and age (with cards marked if verification is incomplete). The cards remain valid until the holder obtains a driver's license or ID from another state, and the program prohibits fees or charges for issuance, renewal, or name changes. This expands existing ID options by offering a no-fee alternative through HHS, distinct from the Department of Motor Vehicles' current system.

MINOR
The bill was finalized as 'As Enrolled' for the Governor's signature, removing draft headers and adding the formal enactment language. The core policy provisions regarding free ID cards for homeless residents, name change procedures, and expiration dates remained substantively unchanged from the previous version.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; the text transitioned from a draft reprint to the final enrolled version.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft-specific headers, reprint dates, and committee referral notes that were present in the 'Reprint 1' version.
Added the formal 'The People of the State of Nevada... Do Enact' language required for a bill to become law.
Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and section summaries to match the final enrolled layout.
