This bill proposes updates to the current statutes regarding nonoperating identification licenses by expanding the list of individuals exempt from associated fees. Under the new provisions, the exemptions will now include any person who does not have a residence address or whose residence address is that of a shelter providing services to the homeless. The current language specifying "veteran" will be replaced with the broader term "person," thereby allowing more individuals to qualify for the fee exemption.

Additionally, the bill establishes a new validity period for nonoperating identification licenses issued after the bill's effective date, setting it at eight years, except for those who subsequently obtain a driver license. This change aims to streamline the licensing process and ensure that individuals with nonoperating identification licenses have a clear expiration timeline. The bill also includes conforming changes to the existing statutes to reflect these updates.
