New Mexico Senate Democrats push broader license rules
A press release from the New Mexico Senate Democrats promotes a universal license requirement across departments and stiffer penalties for knowingly submitting false paperwork by foreign nationals. It outlines residency and identity proofs including tax ID, passport or consular ID, two residency proofs, fingerprint cards, and notarization. Senator Rod Adair opposed the bill though he supported Rep. Andy Nafier's measure tying license access to a Social Security number. The House already passed Nafier's bill last week.
