Committee unanimously approves fix to reinstate intended fee waiver for homeless and foster youth
Summary
Senate Bill 103 corrects an earlier omission to restore fee waivers for driver27s licenses, birth certificates and transcripts for youth experiencing homelessness and youth in foster care; sponsor described it as a technical fix with no fiscal impact.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Senate Transportation Committee unanimously recommended Senate Bill 103, a technical correction to restore fee waivers for youth experiencing homelessness and youth in foster care.
Sen. Plumb said the original legislation, passed two years ago, intended to waive fees for driver27s licenses, birth certificates and school transcripts for these young people but inadvertently omitted youth experiencing homelessness from the waiver language. "This is to put back what was originally intended," Plumb said. The sponsor noted there is no fiscal note because the provision restores previously anticipated language.
There was no public comment in committee and no further debate. Sen. Ibsen moved the favorable recommendation and the committee voted unanimously. The bill will move to the Senate floor for consideration.
Next steps: SB103 will be scheduled for Senate floor action.
