1/15/08-HB1100 remained in the Senate Rules Committee when the session ended. It can be brought back for consideration during the 2008 session.

7/17/07-A bill awaiting consideration on the Senate floor would establish a special driver's certificate for undocumented immigrants.
Sponsored by Rep. Edward Acevedo, D-Chicago, HB1100 would allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's certificates. The certificates would be distinct from driver's licenses and would not be valid for identification purposes other than driving or buying auto insurance.
The House voted 60-56 this spring to advance the bill to the Senate where a final vote on the measure was delayed until fall. If approved there, it would head to Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who said he would sign it into law.
Applicants for the certificates would be photographed and fingerprinted. They also would need to show a valid taxpayer identification number, passport and proof of identity and residency, as well as prove they are at least 18 years old.
The bill contains a "sunset clause," which will take the law off the books in five years - unless the Legislature renews it.
