Bill > HB5423

This bill aims to prevent individuals who are not legally in the United States, referred to as "illegal aliens" or "undocumented immigrants," from voting in elections and operating motor vehicles within the state. Specifically, it proposes changes to existing laws that govern voter identification and driver's licenses. For voting, the bill modifies the types of valid identification documents that can be presented at the polls, with the intention of excluding those without legal status. Regarding motor vehicles, the bill amends the criteria for obtaining a driver's license, stating that a license will not be issued to individuals who are not U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, conditional permanent residents, or valid visa holders, and any license issued to these individuals will expire when their legal status in the U.S. expires. The bill also clarifies that an out-of-state license issued to someone without legal immigration status is not considered valid in the state, and operating a vehicle with such a license would be a violation.
