Advocates are calling on the new DFL-controlled state Legislature to pass a bill within the first 45 days of the 2023 session that would allow undocumented people to obtain a driver’s license.

Versions of the “Driver’s Licenses For All” bill have floated through the Legislature for more than a decade, stalled by a split Legislature and other agenda priorities. But the bill could find new life next year after Minnesotans elected a majority of DFL legislators to the state House and Senate, and reelected DFL governor Tim Walz in November.
