House Bill 472, which passed the House with bipartisan support, would get rid of fees for homeless youth to get their driver’s license or identification card.
A shelter or school address can be temporarily used for the license, and adults that can sign off on paperwork would now include social workers, children and youth caseworkers, and teachers.
The bill was sponsored by State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro (D-Erie).
“By waiving the license fee, we’re removing financial barriers to allow youth identified as homeless to get a license or ID card and use that to enroll or transfer schools, make doctor’s appointments, and enroll in food and housing assistance programs,” Bizzarro said. “These are vital services that can help keep these youth connected to their schools and communities while their lives stabilize.”
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration.
