Driver's licenses-unauthorized alien restrictions.
This Wyoming bill (SF 120) invalidates out-of-state driver's licenses or driving privilege cards issued to people who are not legally allowed to be in the United States (defined as "unauthorized aliens"). It directly affects non-citizens who hold such licenses from other states, making them invalid for use in Wyoming. Key provisions include defining "unauthorized alien," requiring the state to issue rules for implementation, and imposing penalties for driving with an invalid license (up to $750 fine or 6 months in jail for first offenses). The law takes effect July 1, 2024, with rulemaking provisions effective immediately upon passage.
