Governor Pat Quinn says he is looking forward to signing legislation that will allow illegal immigrants to obtain Illinois drivers licenses.
The bill passed the House this (Tuesday) afternoon on a vote of 65-45 after earlier winning approval in the state Senate.
Quinn says it’s an important public safety measure that recognizes that illegal immigrants are already driving on Illinois roadways. He says the new law will make streets safer by requiring that they take drivers’ ed and obtain insurance in order to drive legally.
