Relates to fees for non-driver identification cards
This bill requires the state to waive fees for non-driver identification cards for incarcerated individuals, victims of crime replacing lost IDs, and residents with income below 200% of the federal poverty line. To qualify, applicants must prove their financial status using documents such as tax returns, employer letters, or wage statements. The change mandates that the commissioner grant these waivers rather than leaving the decision to their discretion. It applies to anyone seeking a state ID and takes effect 30 days after becoming law.
