Relating to Drivers License Address Requirements
HB 3098 would amend West Virginia law to allow applicants without permanent addresses to obtain driver's licenses or identification cards. The bill creates a new process for these applicants, requires the Division of Motor Vehicles to audit permitted addresses, and establishes standards for license cancellation. It also provides a fee waiver for individuals without permanent addresses. This change directly affects people who lack a fixed residential address but need official identification for employment, services, or driving. The bill does not alter existing license classifications or driving requirements.
