Licenses for unauthorized immigrants: How NJ lawmakers voted so far

With party-line votes this week by three Assembly and state Senate committees, a proposed law to create a type of drivers license that would be available to people in the country illegally came closer to becoming reality.

The bill is scheduled for a vote by the full Assembly and Senate on Monday.

Approval in both houses would send the bill to Gov. Phil Murphy, who would likely sign it into law.

Below is a list of lawmakers who voted for and against the bills in their respective committees.

About the proposed law

As New Jersey 101.5 Statehouse Bureau Chief Michael Symons reported this week, applicants for the new standard license would have to provide just a single document proving their New Jersey residency. To get the full license, a resident has to provide two such documents.

The six-point system used for providing identity to get a traditional license would also apply to the new standard licenses.
