Kansas Lawmakers Advance Proposal to Create Distinct Licenses for Non-Citizens

The Kansas House of Representatives passed a bill requiring some residents to display their citizenship status on driver’s licenses, moving the measure to the state Senate. Supporters believe this will help identify non-citizens and prevent election fraud. The bill, introduced by Rep. Pat Proctor, aims to create distinctive licenses for non-citizens to aid in citizenship verification. The proposal aligns with increased federal efforts to address illegal immigration, with specific details on license distribution pending Senate consideration.
