Minnesota House Hearing on ‘Driver’s Licenses for All’ Bill

The Minnesota House Transportation Committee is hosting a hearing this morning (Tuesday 8:30 a-m) on the so-called “driver’s licenses for all” bill.  (The measure co-sponsored by D-F-L Representatives Aisha Gomez of Minneapolis and Maria Isa Perez-Vega of St. Paul would allow undocumented residents in Minnesota to obtain a driver’s license.  Supporters say many immigrants in the state are already driving to work without a license or insurance.  Eighteen states currently offer driver’s licenses to residents regardless of immigration status.  There’s a hearing on the bill Wednesday afternoon in the Senate Transportation Committee.
