House Bill 2143 proposes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the Department of Transportation. The bill seeks to expand the exemption from application fees for nonoperating identification licenses to include any person without a residence address or whose residence address is a homeless shelter. Previously, this exemption applied specifically to veterans in similar circumstances.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that mandates all nonoperating identification licenses issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) after the effective date of this act to be valid for eight years. This change standardizes the validity period for these identification licenses, which previously did not have a listed expiration date. The term "veteran" as used in the context of the fee exemption is also removed from the statutes.
