So far, 18 other states have passed legislation allowing driving cards for undocumented immigrants. Advocates say this legislation will give undocumented Hoosiers dignity and also help the economy.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Bloomington has passed a resolution urging state lawmakers to let undocumented Hoosiers obtain driving cards.
Since 2019, there's been an effort to give those individuals driving privileges. The City of Bloomington and 13 other cities support this effort. "Many of them they are not able to even just go to college campuses with their families to look for opportunities to attend higher education institutions,” Marlene Dotson the CEO of the Indiana Latino Institute said. “Some parents, mothers that need to go to the hospital don't have a drivers license so they live with fear and aren't able to do that."In the last legislative session, Senate Bill 248 would have allowed for undocumented Hoosiers to drive, but it didn't pass.
