The Full Story

SB 501 would have allowed noncitizens residing in New Hampshire to obtain driver licenses. 122 Democrats voted for the bill. Only 3 Republicans crossed over.

The bill was effectively killed when the House voted to table it. This is the flip side of SB 13 (2025), which invalidated out-of-state licenses issued to illegal immigrants.
