STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE APPROVED A REVISION OF A BILL THAT GRANTS DRIVER’S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THE ASSEMBLY VOTED YESTERDAY IN FAVOR OF MAKING CHANGES TO A-B-6-0 AFTER BUSINESSES EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERN. EMPLOYERS ASKED LAWMAKERS TO CONFIRM THEY WOULD NOT BE PUNISHED IF THEY REJECT APPLICANTS EVEN AFTER THEY SHOW THEIR LICENSES. THE BILL NOW CLARIFIES IMMIGRANTS CANNOT USE THE LICENSES AS PROOF OF WORK AUTHORIZATION.
