Bill > SB45

This bill invalidates certain driver licenses in Alabama, specifically those issued to individuals who did not provide proof of lawful presence in the United States when obtaining their license, meaning these licenses will no longer authorize driving in the state. Law enforcement officers will issue citations for driving without a license to anyone caught with such an invalid license, and the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency will post a summary of this provision on its website and create road signage to inform drivers, which the State Department of Transportation will install at state entry points. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to clarify that while nonresidents with valid licenses from their home states are generally exempt from needing an Alabama driver license, this exemption will not apply if their license is invalidated by the provisions of this new law. This act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
