State identification; authorize permanent identification for permanent residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
HB 31 would allow permanently disabled residents of nursing homes or assisted living facilities in Mississippi to receive a free, permanent state identification card. The card would not expire and would display the facility's address as the holder's residence. To qualify, individuals must provide proof of permanent disability and facility residency, and the exemption ends if they move out. This changes existing law by removing standard fees and renewal requirements for this specific group.
