The Latest: Changes to immigrant driver’s licenses approved

ATLANTA (AP) – The Latest on the Georgia General Assembly (all times local):

3:45 p.m.

Two bills that would change the appearance of driver’s licenses issued to immigrants with permission to be in the U.S. are moving through the Georgia legislature.

The House Public Safety Committee on Monday approved a bill that would label licenses “ineligible voter.” Rep Alan Powell, R-Hartwell, originally proposed a “noncitizen” label.

Voting rights advocates objected to the change during Monday’s meeting, but it passed the committee over Democrats’ objections.
