Last week the Minnesota House passed the Driver’s Licenses for All bill, which makes it so applicants no longer need to show proof of legal residence to receive a license, in a 69-60 vote.
Versions of the bill, which was sponsored by Representatives Aisha Gomez (DFL-Mpls) and María Isa Pérez-Vega (DFL-St. Paul), have been pushed around in Legistlature for over 10 years without being successfully passed.
With Democrats in control at the House and Senate levels, and a Democratic Governor, proponents believe the bill may actually become a law this time around.
@pewresearch estimates there are 95,000 info undocumented individuals in Minnesota.
