(Providence, RI)--A measure that would allow Rhode Island's Department of Motor Vehicles to issue driver's licenses to undocumented residents is one step closer to becoming state law.State senators reportedly approved the measure yesterday.According to state Senator Frank Ciccone, who sponsored the bill, the proposed permit would not serve as proper ID for voting purposes.Officials say the bill still needs approval by state House members.However, House Speaker Joseph Shekarchi said lawmakers are unlikely to consider the measure this legislative session.
