Oregon Senate passed S 424 today!!
Email update I received from OFIR, thought I would share it with all here. Things are looking better in Oregon today.
Today the Oregon Senate passed by a 37 to 1 vote the minority report on Senate Bill 424. The minority report requires that all Oregon driver license applicants prove citizenship or legal presence. In addition it requires a valid Social Security number. A temporary license would be valid only during the time of the applicants authorized stay in the U.S.
Senators Bruce Starr and Larry George deserve a huge thank you from not only OFIR members but all Oregon citizens for bringing the vote to the floor of the Senate. The bill now goes to the Ways and Means Committee.
The bi partison vote that all Senate Democrats and Republicians supported demonstrated the broad support for a secure Oregon driver license. Currently Oregon is one of only 3 states that do not require either proof of legal presence or a valid Social Security number.
It is critical that everyone contact members of the Ways and Means Committee and ask them to hold a hearing on SB 424 and pass it. The cost is minimal, the mechanism for verifing Social Security numbers in place and 41 other states already require proof of legal presence. SB 424 passed by a 37 to 1 vote ! It has bi partison support and the Senate vote reflects public opinion.
