B 25-0849 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Limited Purpose Credential Clarification Amendment Act of 2024

This bill modifies the District of Columbia Traffic Act to allow individuals transported to the city by another state's executive branch to apply for a limited purpose driver's credential without meeting the standard six-month residency requirement. To qualify under this exception, applicants must provide specific federal documents, such as forms related to immigration hearings or parole, which serve as proof of their identity and temporary residence. The legislation also clarifies that these limited purpose credentials cannot be used to apply for Continuum of Care services under the Homeless Services Reform Act, ensuring they are used solely for identification purposes. Additionally, the bill updates municipal regulations to accept a Department of Motor Vehicles-approved letter as valid proof of identity for identification card applicants who lack traditional documents.
