Title

Driver licenses, certain classes of driver licenses invalidated

Description

Under existing law, individuals are required to obtain a driver license before driving a motor vehicle in this state, and new residents are required to obtain an Alabama driver license within 30 days after establishing residence in this state.

A nonresident with a driver license issued in his or her home state or country may be exempt from the Alabama driver license requirement under certain circumstances.

This bill would invalidate the use of any driver license that explicitly indicates it was issued to an individual who did not exercise the option of providing proof of lawful presence in the United States when obtaining the license.

This bill would also prevent a nonresident from qualifying for an exemption to the Alabama driver license requirement if the nonresident's license explicitly indicates that it was issued to an individual who did not exercise the option of providing proof of lawful presence in the United States when obtaining the license.
