The St. Lawrence County Legislature on Monday night passed a bill opposing the so-called “Green Light Bill” in Albany, which would grant driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. According to information from greenlightnewyork.gov, undocumented immigrants would be able to apply for a standard driver’s license. They will not be eligible to apply for a REAL ID-compliant or enhanced license. For more, see story here.
