This bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, focusing on the licensing of drivers, particularly concerning learners' permits and the application process for driver's licenses. Key provisions include the requirement for minors under 18 to present a certification form signed by a teacher, social worker, or caseworker if they are classified as "homeless children and youths." Additionally, the bill clarifies that the submission of this certification will not expose the minor's parent, guardian, or the signing professional to liability.

Furthermore, the bill allows individuals who meet the definition of "homeless children and youths" to use a temporary address for their applications and accepts signatures from relevant professionals in lieu of a parent or guardian's signature. It also waives fees for obtaining a driver's license or identification card for these individuals. The changes aim to facilitate access to driver's licenses for homeless youth, ensuring they are not hindered by financial or bureaucratic barriers. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
