Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah law already waives state ID card fees for people experiencing homelessness, and this bill extends that same waiver to driver license applications — including original licenses, provisional licenses, and learner permits. To qualify, an applicant must submit written verification of homelessness from an approved source, such as a homeless shelter, a transitional housing facility, the Department of Workforce Services, or a verified homeless service provider. Utahns experiencing homelessness would no longer need to pay fees ranging from $19 to $52 to obtain a driver license, removing a financial barrier to a document that is often required for employment, housing applications, and accessing services.
