Bill > HB927

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would prohibit the state from issuing driver's licenses, operating privileges, or similar motor vehicle operation authorizations to individuals who cannot establish lawful presence in the United States. The proposed amendment would add a new section (§ 30) to Article I of the state constitution, explicitly barring undocumented immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses. The bill outlines a specific process for constitutional amendment, which requires passage by the General Assembly in two consecutive legislative sessions, followed by publication and submission to qualified voters at the first eligible general or municipal election. If approved, this amendment would effectively prevent individuals who are not legally present in the United States from obtaining official state-issued driving documentation, potentially impacting immigrant communities and their ability to legally operate motor vehicles in Pennsylvania.
