Provides qualified homeless individuals non-driver state identification cards
This bill (S 7032) allows homeless individuals in New York to obtain free non-driver state ID cards without fees. To qualify, applicants must provide verified proof of homelessness from an approved service provider (such as a shelter, social worker, or homeless liaison). The bill amends existing law to add homeless individuals as a category eligible for these fee-free IDs, alongside seniors and certain public assistance recipients. It requires applicants to submit documentation from designated providers, defined under federal homeless assistance guidelines, to confirm housing status.
