After 20 years of advocacy, the ACLU helped to pass a historic bill permitting all qualified drivers to apply for a license, regardless of immigration status. Shortly thereafter, we defeated an effort to repeal the law at the ballot box.

We continue to help ensure the new law lives up to its promise through effective privacy regulations, public education, and outreach by offering:
- In-person and virtual office hours to help individuals apply, in English and Spanish; other languages upon request
- Trainings and mentoring for organizations/advocates to help them serve their communities
- Study groups to prepare applicants to take the written test
- Clinics and group workshops for individuals to prepare them to apply
- Trainings for organizations that want to sponsor drivers for their road tests
- Troubleshooting for applicants facing obstacles
