Mayor Hamilton calls on City Council to pass resolution supporting Driver Cards for undocumented Indiana residents\u00a0<\/strong>
Mayor Hamilton will call on the Bloomington City Council at their June 7th meeting to consider and adopt a resolution indicating support for a Driver Card for undocumented Indiana residents.\u00a0Proposed Resolution 23-09 expresses support for the Indiana General Assembly to pass Senate Bill 248, creating a Driver Card for Indiana residents who cannot provide proof of lawful status in the United States. A Driver Card is a credential that permits undocumented residents to\u00a0drive lawfully. Prerequisites such as obtaining required training, certification, and insurance must be met before the card can be obtained.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been bipartisan support for the program in Indiana, as an effort that supports law enforcement and first responders in addition to those obtaining the cards and the communities in which they live. La Voz Unida is the Indiana non-profit organization dedicated to making progress on this effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
