Minnesota House of Representatives approved HF 4, known as the “Driver’s Licenses for All” bill. The legislation would allow undocumented residents of Minnesota to earn driver’s licenses.

 

With an estimated 81,000 undocumented immigrants in Minnesota, this measure would allow them and their families to complete necessary daily tasks like driving to work, dropping kids off at school, or attending medical appointments. This bill will increase safety and justice across Minnesota by allowing these residents to travel openly, once they pass standard licensing exams and tests. Similar bills in other states have been shown to reduce hit-and-run accidents by 7-10%.

 

The legislation is currently moving through the committee process in the Minnesota Senate.
