A bill to allow illegal immigrants to obtain Illinois drivers’ licenses is a step closer to becoming law.
The Illinois Senate approved the measure Wednesday on a lopsided, bipartisan vote.
Top Democrats and Republicans support the measure… insisting it’s a necessary public safety measure that recognizes the reality of undocumented immigrants on the state’s roads, and tries to ensure that they at least have some driving instruction and insurance.
The bill now goes to the House, but a final vote can’t happen until early January.
