Note: Due to a recent law change homeless veterans are now able to ac- cess a free ID from the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). A.R.S. § 28-3002 (14.B) reads "The fees established pursuant to this section do not apply to a veteran who does not have a resi- dence address or whose residence ad- dress is the address of a shelter that provides services to the homeless. For the purposes of this subsection, "veteran" has the same meaning pre- scribed in section 41-601."

Therefore, CDC will not enforce the Order. CDC contin- ues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transporta- tion settings at this time. In addition, effective immediately, the Transportation Security Admin- istration (TSA) will not enforce its mask-related Security Directives. TSA is also withdrawing its Security Directive 1582/84-21-01E, which was issued on April 15, 2022, and was scheduled to take effect today.
