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

(St. Paul, MN) — 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 Democratic Representatives Aisha Gomez and Maria Isa Perez-Vega 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.
