Summary
The bill creates a certification for unaccompanied homeless youth aged 16 or older, allowing them to apply for IDs, vital records, health care, housing, employment, and other services without a parent or guardian’s permission. The Department of Children and Families will issue a standardized form that serves as proof of status. It also waives many fees for these youths and grants liability immunity to providers who serve them.
