Illegal immigrants will soon be able to obtain Illinois drivers licenses.
The Illinois House passed a bill Tuesday that will allow undocumented workers in the state to get a license if they go through drivers ed and show proof of insurance.
Governor Pat Quinn has vowed to sign the bill.
Supporters say it is a public safety measure that recognizes that illegal immigrants are already driving on Illinois roads, but seeks to make sure that they pose less of a hazard to other drivers in the future.
