House Bill 123 amends the Family Code, Health and Safety Code, and Transportation Code to provide for the issuance of a personal identification certificate to a foster child or youth, a homeless child or youth, or an unaccompanied youth without a parent or guardian's signature, presence, or permission. The bill exempts such a child or youth from the payment of any fee for the issuance of a personal identification certificate and exempts a homeless child or youth or an unaccompanied youth from the payment of any fee for the issuance of a driver's license. The bill requires the state registrar, a local registrar, or a county clerk to issue a birth record to a requesting homeless child or youth, unaccompanied youth, or foster child or youth without fee or parental consent.
