Maine House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross Pushes Legislation to Allow Illegal Aliens to Obtain Driver’s Licenses

Maine House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross (D-Portland) has introduced a bill for the second legislative session that would remove the requirement to prove legal presence in the U.S. in order to obtain a driver’s license.

The bill, LD 1138, also proposes removing the requirement that an applicant for a driver’s license provide proof of being ineligible to receive a social security number if they do not provide a social security number on their application.

In cases of applicants for driver’s licenses or nondriver identification cards who are not U.S. citizens and not legal permanent residents of the U.S., Speaker Talbot Ross’ bill would repeal certain provisions that align the expiration of the applicant’s legal stay in the country with the expiration date of their license or card.
