An Act Regarding Driver'S Licenses For Individuals In Foster Care

This bill requires the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to cover specific costs for obtaining a driver's license for youth in foster care and those in extended or transition programs. The law mandates that the state pay for waived licensing fees, required motor vehicle insurance, and any other associated expenses for these individuals. Additionally, the bill expands the list of people who can verify a minor's driving practice hours, including foster parents and designated social workers, to help these young people meet licensing requirements.
