A webinar will be held Wednesday, May 29, at 1:30 p.m. to discuss “Driving PA Forward,” which is a statewide coalition organized to pass legislation HB-769 for a standard driver’s license for all regardless of immigration status. According to the coalition, “Expanding access to driver’s licenses would ‘would bolster the economy, improve public safety, strengthen communities, and is just the humane thing to do.'”
Here is how the coalition says passing the legislation will benefit drivers in the state:
Safety on the roads: there is a consensus that roads and communities are safer when everyone behind the wheel has a license, insurance and identification.
Economic impact: Pennsylvania could expect a $13 million increase in revenue from taxes, registration fees, license fees, and vehicle-related purchases in the first three years after implementation.
Safeguard our privacy: The bill would add a host of crucial protections for driver data, including safeguards around sharing personal information.
