Allow city to fund free Municipal ID cards for vulnerable residents
In Plain English
Richmond currently offers Municipal ID cards that help undocumented immigrants, unhoused people, and others access services like Medi-Cal and driver's licenses. The program currently charges fees. If approved, the city provides these ID cards at no cost and studies how much this would cost taxpayers.
