New Legislation Would Expand ID Options For Immigrants In Illinois

New legislation awaiting Governor Pritzker’s signature would expand identification options for undocumented immigrants. The measure approved by lawmakers would allow non-citizen residents who are eligible to receive a standard driver’s license with the wording “Federal Limits Apply” printed atop the cards. These licenses would replace the current Temporary Visitor Driver’s Licenses, which undocumented immigrants have been able to obtain to drive legally in Illinois.
