This bill amends existing Oklahoma laws to provide specific exemptions for homeless individuals regarding identification cards and certified copies of birth certificates. Under the amendments to 47 O.S. 2021, Section 6-105.3, homeless persons will no longer be charged a fee for the replacement of a 4-year identification card, provided they submit proof of temporary residence through a social worker or the coordinator of an emergency shelter. Additionally, the bill defines "homeless person" as someone unable to secure permanent, fixed, and stable housing, as determined by a qualified professional. It also stipulates that no more than one 4-year identification card replacement can be provided to a homeless person without a fee.

Furthermore, the bill amends 63 O.S. 2021, Section 1-325, to allow homeless individuals to obtain a certified copy of their birth certificate without a fee, contingent upon a request made through a social worker or emergency shelter coordinator. The request must be submitted on official letterhead and include necessary identification details. Similar to the identification card provisions, this section also defines "homeless person" and limits the issuance of free birth certificates to one per individual. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
