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 seeking a junior driver's license to present a certification form signed by a teacher, social worker, or caseworker if they are classified as "homeless children and youths" under federal law. 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 driver's license or learner's permit applications. It also stipulates that these individuals will not be required to pay fees for obtaining a driver's license or identification card. The changes aim to facilitate access to driving privileges for homeless youth, ensuring they can obtain necessary documentation without financial barriers. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
