This legislation continued the Necessary Document Program. It is vital for ensuring that people with low incomes can access identification like birth certificates and drivers licenses regardless of financial hardship so they can get back on their feet by doing things such as opening a bank account, applying for a job, picking up a prescription, or accessing health care, housing, and food assistance programs. Since its inception, the program has distributed close to 40,000 document vouchers to people with low incomes.
