driver's license

Earlier this summer, Massachusetts lawmakers passed a bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain legal driver’s licenses. Now, that legislation is threatened as Republican opponents have surpassed the number of signatures required to get a ballot measure in front of voters this November asking for their final say.

With enough support to withstand a potential veto from the governor, the state Senate passed a bill Thursday that would allow residents without legal immigration status to apply for standard driver’s licenses.
