LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 371, as introduced, Solis.

Issuance of driver's licenses and identification cards.

(1) Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to require every applicant for an original driver's license or identification card to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law and to adopt regulations to carry out this requirement.

This bill would repeal these requirements.

(2) Existing law requires the department to issue a 90-day temporary driver's license to a legal, nonimmigrant driver's license applicant who has successfully completed an application and the related requirements for the issuance of a driver's license.

This bill would repeal these provisions.


Antonio Villaraigosa marches into the state capitol upon election to speaker of the Calif. Assembly... followed by rabid reconquista Gil Cedillo, a fellow MEChA alumni. Note mariachis on right. Disgraceful.

"It's not enough to elect Latino leadership. If they're supporting legislation that denies the undocumented driver's licenses, they don't belong in office."

Antonio Villraigosa
(This guy ran for mayor of L.A. and lost to another Democrat, James Hahn, who later declared L.A. to be a "Mexican city" in a chat with the meddlesome Mexican president. MEChA-boy Villaraigosa won a seat on the L.A. city council in 2003.)
