HARTFORD, Conn. – The House approved a bill Monday night that allows undocumented immigrants to use a foreign birth certificate with a raised seal as a secondary form of identification in obtaining a driver’s license in Connecticut.
The bill modifies a law passed two years ago that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain “drive-only” license.
The bill passed Monday also clarifies that the licenses are not allowed to be used for voting purposes — one of the main concerns of opponents of the law passed two years ago.
Rep. Tom O’Dea (R-New Canaan) said he voted against the bill two years ago, but due to bipartisan cooperation they “made a bill that had some concerns a much better bill.”
