2011-S6070 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S6070

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing certain
undocumented Americans to obtain New York state drivers' licenses or
non-driver identification cards

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To allow New York State students or former students, regardless of
immigration status, be allowed to obtain a New York State drivers'
license or non-driver identification card provided they meet criteria
promulgated by the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles
and set forth in law.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill changes subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of
subdivision 3 of section 490 of the vehicle and traffic law, as
amended by chapter 235 of the laws of 2002 to include language that
states, "no applicant shall be denied a non-driver identification
card if such applicant has attended primary school within the state
for one or more years."

Section 2 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of section 502 of the
vehicle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 639 of the laws of
2006 to include language stating that, "no applicant shall be denied

a driver's license if such applicant (i) otherwise qualifies for a
license pursuant to this section, (ii) attends or has attended
primary school within the state for one or more years, and (iii) has
applied for lawful immigration status or shall apply for lawful
immigration status as soon as such applicant is eligible to do so."

Further, this section is amended to prohibit applicants from being
denied a license solely on the basis of not having a social security
number.

Section 3 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of section 502 of the
vehicle and traffic law, as amended by section 2 of part CC of
chapter 58 of the laws of 2011 to include language, "that no
applicant shall be denied a driver's license if such applicant: (i)
otherwise qualifies for a license pursuant to this section, (ii)
attends or has attended primary school within the state for one or
more years, and (iii) has applied for lawful immigration status or
shall apply for lawful immigration status as soon as such applicant
is eligible to do so."

Further, this section is amended to prohibit applicants from being
denied a license solely on the basis of not having a social security
number.

Section 4 of the bill amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section
502 of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended by section 3 of part K
of chapter 59 of the laws of 2009 to protect the ability of license
renewals by individuals
who already have obtained a valid license but do not have a social
security number.


JUSTIFICATION:
This bill shall allow all people (including undocumented immigrants)
who have attended primary school in the state for at least one year
to be eligible to receive a drivers license or a non-driving ID
through the department of motor vehicles.

With the law's enactment, current and former students who are not
documented U.S. citizens would have the same driving and
identification rights that legal state residents enjoy.

All those applying for such license would have to file an affidavit
with the department of motor vehicles stating that they have applied
for a lawful immigration status or will apply as soon as they are
eligible to do so.

This bill is necessary to protect the children of undocumented parents
who have grown up in New York State and cannot be expected to live on
the fringes of society because their parents wanted a better life for
the family. Due to no fault of their own these children are currently
alienated in the very society they live, know, and grew up in. Being
enrolled in school adequately demonstrates a desire to be engaged in
society to the extent that these students should be able to pursue
advancement as needed by the ability to have driving and
identification rights in the state of New York.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Positive Revenue to the State from the collection of licensure fees
will be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE
This act shall take effect on the 120th day after becoming law,
with provisions.

er shall prescribe.  In addition, an applicant for renewal of a  license
