State legislators have overriden Governor Pete Ricketts again to pave the way for youth brought into the country illegally to apply for Nebraska driver’s licenses.
Nebraska ends its status as the last state to withhold driving privileges from youth given legal status by the federal government.
Senator Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha sponsors the measure.

Senator Bill Kintner of Papillion agrees with the governor’s objection that the language of the bill is too broad and extends beyond such youth.

The Unicameral voted 34-to-10 to enact the DREAMers drvier’s license law over the governor’s objection.
