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, which currently cost between $19 and $52. To qualify, an applicant would need to submit written verification of homelessness from an approved source, such as a homeless shelter, a transitional or supportive housing facility, the Department of Workforce Services, a verified homeless service provider, or a school liaison for homeless students. The bill also makes small technical adjustments to existing ID card fee waiver language to ensure the list of qualifying verification sources is consistent across different sections of the law. Overall, the bill removes a fee-based barrier for unhoused Utahns seeking a driver license, a document often needed for employment, housing, and other services.
