Bill > SB13

This bill invalidates out-of-state driver's licenses issued specifically to undocumented immigrants by amending New Hampshire's driver's license regulations. Specifically, the bill declares that any driver's license issued by another state exclusively to undocumented immigrants who cannot prove lawful U.S. presence will be considered invalid within New Hampshire, meaning the license cannot authorize the holder to operate a motor vehicle in the state. The bill includes provisions that prevent law enforcement from initiating traffic stops solely based on this license status and requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to maintain a public website listing out-of-state license classes that are invalid. Individuals found in violation of this statute would face penalties, with first-time offenders receiving a violation and subsequent offenses classified as a class B misdemeanor. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage and aims to restrict driving privileges for individuals without legal immigration status who have obtained driver's licenses from other states with more permissive policies.
