Michigan HB4195 removes the citizenship or legal presence requirement for obtaining a driver license.

Michigan HB4195 amends the state's driver licensing laws to remove the requirement for applicants to demonstrate citizenship or legal presence in the United States. The bill modifies the eligibility criteria for obtaining an operator's or chauffeur's license, ensuring that these licenses can be issued without regard to an individual's immigration status. It also outlines procedures for license issuance, renewal, and revocation, including checks against the National Driver Register and the Commercial Driver's License Information System.
