Senate Transportation, Public Utilities, Energy, and Technology Committee, Jan 22, 2026

  1. Committee chair19:48

    First, thank you for your patience. Senator Musselman? Yes.

  2. Unknown speaker19:52speaker not certain

    Okay. I'm just here. You're looking. Okay.

  3. Committee chair19:55

    Senator Plumb for your, uh, uh, compact presentation on this

  4. Sen. Jen Plumb19:59

    Bill. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, and this really should be a, a quick presentation. Uh, Senate Bill 1 0 3 is a quick fix on a bill that we had passed, uh, two years ago that was removing fees for driver's licenses, birth certificates, and HI transcripts from education facilities for youth, young folks experiencing homelessness and also for youth in our foster systems. We were sharing the success of this bill at an NCSL conference. As luck would be and someone that was reading it wanting to replicate, it went, how come you don't have the, uh, youth experiencing homelessness on the fee waiver for the driver's license? And we said, oh, we do. And then we checked with the drafters and actually it had been inadvertently left out. So this is to put back what was originally intended. Uh, as noted, there's zero fiscal note because it was what had initially been bid out, and this is just a fix to get where we thought we were.

  5. Committee chair20:51

    Thank you. Discussion, uh, questions from the committee saying none. Is there anyone in the public who wishes to address this bill? Saying none. We'll bring it back to the committee. Oh, Senator Ipson, your light's already on. Go ahead. Okay.

  6. Sen. John Ipson21:09

    I make a motion that Senate Bill 1 0 3 driver's license amendments passed with a favorable recommendation. Discussion to that motion saying, none. Senator Plumb for submission, I'll waive. Thank you.

  7. Committee chair21:19

    Senator Ipson waive all in favor of passing out Senate bill 1 0 3 to the floor with a favorable recommendation. Say aye. Aye. Any opposed? I'll rule that passage unanimously. Thank you very much.

  8. Committee chair21:31

    Thank you. Committee. Senator Musselman, Senate Bill 37.

Senate floor, Feb 2, 2026

  1. Unknown speaker30:11speaker not certain

    waiting for him to come up. Here we go. We run in.

  2. Sen. Jen Plumb30:14

    Finally, this bill is actually a very simple fix from a bill that I had passed a couple of years back. And the goal of this bill was to get barriers broken down for our youth. So our unsheltered youth and our youth in foster, uh, care and recent graduates from foster care to have access to their crucial documents. So their birth certificates, their college transcripts, their driver's licenses. And there was a drafting error that was discovered that there had not been the unsheltered, uh, individual's part that got transferred into the driver's licenses. And, uh, an astute person at one of the NCSL conferences I was at, they were actually looking to replicate this bill in other states discovered it. So we will rectify it with this hopefully fiscal note indicates that it's already been al allocated in the prior funds. This is just a wording fix that's needed. With that, I'm open to any questions.
